AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike the light reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membrane, the reactions of the Calvin cycle take place in the stroma (the inner space of chloroplasts).

Detailed explanation-2: -Interior to the chloroplast’s inner membrane and surrounding the thylakoids is a fluid called the stroma. The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis take place within the stroma. It contains enzymes that work with ATP and NADPH to “fix” carbon from carbon dioxide into molecules that can be used to build glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -The series of biochemical redox reactions which take place in the stroma are collectively called the Calvin cycle or light-independent reactions.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma area in the chloroplasts. The mitochondria is another organelle, and the nucleus contains the DNA. The thylakoids are in the chloroplasts and contain the pigment chlorophyll in which the light reactions occur.

Detailed explanation-5: -Listen to pronunciation. (STROH-muh) The cells and tissues that support and give structure to organs, glands, or other tissues in the body. The stroma is mostly made up of connective tissue, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves.
