The correct answer is C !! Carbon dioxide is converted to sugar using ATP and NADPH (formed in light reaction) during dark reaction !! It is also called Calvin Cycle !!
Dark reaction (also termed as calvin cycle) is the second stage of the photosynthesis (process of formation of food in green plants and algae) that occurs in the stroma of chloroplast.
This stage is dependent on the products of light reaction (first stage of photosynthesis) that are NADPH and ATP.
Using these products, CO2 (carbon dioxide) is fixed and converted into food (glucose, which is a carbohydrate or sugar).
The dendrites are important for receiving action potential or other stimulation in order for neurons to become activated. Dendrites are electrical signals that receive extensions of the cytoplasm. These signals come in two fundamental forms: inhibitory and excitatory.
