Question 7

Why is it better to call the dark phase of photosynthesis as "light-independent phase"?

Answer

The old term 'dark-phase' did not mean that it occurs when it is dark i.e. night. It only means that the reactions are not dependent on light. That is why, it is now better called as "light-independent phase".
