**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Photosynthesis Phases**: Photosynthesis occurs in two main phases: the light-dependent reactions (also known as the photochemical phase) and the light-independent reactions (commonly referred to as the dark phase or biosynthetic phase). 2. **Identifying the Phases**: - The **photochemical phase** (light reactions) occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and requires light to produce energy-rich molecules (ATP and NADPH). - The **dark phase** (dark reactions or biosynthetic phase) occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts and does not require light directly. Instead, it utilizes the ATP and NADPH produced during the light reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. ...
