Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The calvin cycle takes place in ____
A
stroma
B
thylakoid membrane
C
chlorophyll
D
granum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Calvin cycle, Calvin–Benson–Bassham (CBB) cycle, reductive pentose phosphate cycle (RPP cycle) or C3 cycle is a series of biochemical redox reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplast in photosynthetic organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Calvin cycle, Calvin-Benson cycle, or Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle (CBB-cycle) takes place in the stroma of plant chloroplasts. It entails a series of reactions during which carbon dioxide is reduced and sugar precursors are formed, using the chemical energy (ATP and NADPH) captured by the light reactions.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the C4 pathway, initial carbon fixation takes place in mesophyll cells and the Calvin cycle takes place in bundle-sheath cells.
