Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Does the Calvin Cycle require light?
A
yes
B
no
C
depends on the amount of carbon dioxide
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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: -The Calvin Cycle All three necessary conditions are required – chlorophyll pigments, the chloroplast “theater, ‘’ and enzyme catalysts. The first stage transforms light energy into chemical energy, stored to this point in molecules of ATP and NADPH.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: True. The Calvin cycle does require sunlight indirectly in order to produce glucose. The light dependent reactions produce ATP and NADPH which are integral to the Calvin cycle.
