Why are the light independent reactions considered the synthesis part of photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Because it is the part where glucose is produced. The light dependent part has the function of fixing the light energy from the sun in the form of ATP molecule.This ATP will be used in the light independent part to make the high energy bonds in the glucose molecule.

The photosynthesis that occurs in the stroma of the chloroplasts and is not directly dependent on light is known as "light-independent reactions." It is thought of as the synthesis portion of photosynthesis because it uses the energy stored in ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose and other carbohydrates.
