In photosynthesis, the light-independent reactions take place
Thylakoid lumen
Photosystem I
Photosystem II
Photosystem II

Photosystem II
The light-independent reactions (or dark reactions) take place in the stromal matrix of the chloroplasts.
In light independent reactions, carbon dioxide is reduced to glucose (carbohydrate) by the hydrogen in NADPH by using the chemical energy stored in ATP. This reaction takes place in the presence of a substance called RuDP.
Anoxygenic photosynthesis is characteristic of
rhodospirlllum
Spirogyra
Chlamydomonas
Chlamydomonas

transpiration
glycolysis
photosynthesis
photosynthesis
