Why does darkness affect the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis?

Plants stop their daytime activities and rest during the night much like animals do. ... Light independent reactions require the energy gathered in the thylakoids. Mitochondria produce sugars more effectively in the darkness than chloroplasts do.

Explanation:

the most common energy conversion is from kinetic energy to potential energy, and then from potential energy to kinetic energy.

later on comes the heat energy, mechanical energy, and other energy conversions.

this energy conversion is so common that we can find it in our day to day lives as well.

- one of the most common energy conversions involves the changing of potential energy to kinetic energy or kinetic energy to potential energy
