Q. No.
What is the primary reason why the biosynthetic phase of photosynthesis is often referred to as the "dark reaction"?
1. It occurs only in the absence of light.
2. It does not directly depend on light but uses products of the light reaction.
3. It uses ATP and NADPH to fix CO2.
4. It is an irreversible reaction that happens during the night.
