Detailed explanation-1: -Key Points. The Calvin cycle refers to the light-independent reactions in photosynthesis that take place in three key steps. Although the Calvin Cycle is not directly dependent on light, it is indirectly dependent on light since the necessary energy carriers (ATP and NADPH) are products of light-dependent reactions.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct option is ‘Light’.
Detailed explanation-3: -The chloroplasts present in the plants also use NADPH as a part of the pathway to synthesize sugars from the sunlight and also from the carbon dioxide. Likewise, in other reactions, NADPH carries electrons and protons into the new carbon-carbon bonds, creating sugar molecules.
Detailed explanation-4: -Products of Calvin Cycle The products formed after a single turn of the Calvin cycle are 3 ADP, 2 glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) molecules, and 2 NADP+.
