What step in photosynthesis may occur during day and night?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about a specific step in the process of photosynthesis that can take place both during the day and the night. It suggests a need for an understanding of the different phases of photosynthesis and which ones are light-dependent versus light-independent.
Answer
The Calvin cycle or light-independent reactions
The Calvin cycle or the light-independent reactions can occur during the day and night.
Answer for screen readers
The Calvin cycle or the light-independent reactions can occur during the day and night.
More Information
The Calvin cycle is essential for synthesizing glucose and can occur regardless of light conditions.
Tips
A common mistake is to think that both stages of photosynthesis require light, but only the light-dependent stage does.
