Answer:

The given statement is false.

The process of photosynthesis can be broadly classified into two reactions: light dependent and light independent.

Light-dependent reaction depends upon the light and produces ATP and NADPH whereas light independent reaction does not directly depend on the light. During this process, ATP and NADPH are used to fix carbon in the sugars or food.

Carbon fixation refers to the process by which carbon is fixed into the organic compound by an organism such as observed in photosynthesis. It is the first step of light independent reaction or Calvin cycle. It can occur in the absence of light also.

Thus, the given statement is false.
