  • Photosynthesis is a two-step process. 
  • The following reactions are involved in the process:
    • Light Reaction
    • Dark Reaction

Dark Reaction:

  • It occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast.
  • Glucose is formed using carbon dioxide, ATP for energy and NADPH as reducing power.
  • It is also called the Calvin cycle.

 

The second reaction in photosynthesis is dark reaction or biosynthetic phase which fixes carbon dioxide to form glucose. Hence, the correct answer is option a.
