Why does darkness affect the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis?

Answer:

The correct answer would be Light independent reactions require the energy gathered in the thylakoids.

Photosynthesis can divided into two sub-processes or reactions:

Light-dependent reaction: It converts solar energy into chemical energy that is, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH with the help of photolysisis of water. It takes place in thyllakoid membrane of the chloroplast.

Light-independent reaction: It fixes carbon obtained from carbon dioxide into the food or glucose with the help of enzyme RuBisCO (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase).

It takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast and does not require the involvement of light however, it requires the products (ATP and NADPH) of the light reaction.

Fixation of 1 molecule of glucose requires 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 9 molecules of ATP and 6 molecules of NADPH.

So, darkness indirectly affects the light-independent reaction.

What is the function of the cytoplasm?
Yakvenalex [24]
The jelly-like fluid that fills a cell is calledcytoplasm<span>. It is made up of mostly water and salt. </span>Cytoplasm is present within the cell membrane of all cell types and contains all organelles and cell parts.<span>Cytoplasm has various functions in the cell. </span>

Most of the important activities of the cell occur in the cytoplasm. Cytoplasm contains molecules such as enzymes which are responsible for breaking down waste and also aid in metabolic activity.

<span>Cytoplasm is responsible for giving a cell its shape. It helps to fill out the cell and keeps organelles in their place. Without cytoplasm, the cell would be deflated and materials would not be able to pass easily from one organelle to another.</span>

<span>Base on the data in the graph, the event that would most likely happen if the paramecium were placed in distilled water is that "The contractions would increase." This is the result of a hypertonic solution. </span>The net movement of water in an aqueous solution is form the higher water concentration to a lower water concentration. A hypertonic solution has higher solute in the cell than the outside. The movement is from the cell to the outside and so the cell will shrink.
