Answer 1

ANSWER:

The chemical energy which is stored in ATP during photosynthesis is released during the "dark phase" to produce $\bold{O_{2}}$

EXPLANATION:

• Though called the dark phase, this phase of photosynthesis is dependent upon light and takes place when ATP, carbon dioxide and NADPH is available.

• In this phase, the starch and carbohydrates produced help the plants to make lipids and proteins which are essentially required for the formation of the plant tissue.

• The dark phase results in the release of oxygen into the atmosphere. The glucose produced in this phase is used by the plants as food.
