In which part of the chloroplast do the 'Dark Reactions' or biosynthetic phase occur?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Stroma
The dark reactions involve enzymatic steps that do not directly require light but depend on the products of light reactions (ATP and NADPH). These enzymes are located in the fluid stroma of the chloroplast.
