Answer:

Synthesis of carbon compounds

Explanation:

Light-independent reactions are a set of chemical reactions that occur in plant chloroplasts during photosynthesis. The product of these chemical reactions is glucose, a carbon compound essential for living things.

Photosynthesis is part of the carbon cycle, and therefore is involved in the flow o this element in the biosphere.  

During the day, plants use the Sun's energy to convert CO2 from the atmosphere into carbohydrates (photosynthesis). During the night, they use the carbohydrates  they produced to produce energy and release CO2 back into the atmosphere (respiration).

Ilya [14]
In eukaryotes, <em>replication takes place in the nucleus</em> as prokaryotes do not have a true nucleus and <em>replication takes place in the cytoplasm</em>. The nucleus of the eukaryotes is the location where genetic material (DNA) is found; in prokaryotes, the genetic material is condensed in the cytoplasm called the nucleoid. There are multiple replication forks or <em>multiple origins of replication </em>in eukaryotes in contrast to prokaryotes which only has <em>one origin of replication. </em>Lastly, replication in eukaryotes <em>occurs at multiple points along the chromosome; </em>in contrast with prokaryotes where it <em>occurs at just one point on the chromosome.</em>
