Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason that why the reaction of the Calvin cycle are not directly dependent on light and yet they usually do not occur at night.

Introduction:

The Calvin cycle also called as dark reaction because this reaction not depends on light. This cycle takes place in the stromal region of chloroplast where CO2 from the environment reacts with the water and formed the glucose (sugar) molecule as an end product and oxygen is evolved in this reaction.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The Calvin cycle reactions that fix CO2 do not function in the dark. What are the likely reasons for this? How are these reactions regulated by light?
Why is the Calvin Cycle referred to as the dark reactions, or light-independent reactions?.
How many different types of reactions (e.g., phosphorylation, isomerization) occur in the Calvin cycle?
