Answer: False.

Step-by-step explanation: Light reactions needs light from the sun to produce high energy molecules such as ATP and NADPH.

This reaction starts in the chloroplast of the leaves. The leaves contains green colored pigment known as chlorophyll which traps the sunlight for the reaction.

The dark colored reaction make use of the ATP and NADPH to produce the products called as carbohydrates that takes in stroma.
