Question

Although the reactions of the calvin cycle do not depend directly on light. True or False

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The complete question is:

"Although the reactions of the Calvin cycle do not depend directly on light, they do not usually occur at night. True o False"

The Calvin cycle is also known as the Calvin-Benson cycle or as the CO₂ fixation phase in the photosynthesis process.

The Calvin cycle generates the reactions necessary to fix the carbon in a solid structure for the formation of glucose and, in turn, regenerates the molecules for the continuation of the cycle.

The Calvin cycle is known as the dark phase of photosynthesis, or the carbon fixation phase. It is called the dark phase because this cycle is not dependent on light like other parts that make up the photosynthesis process. But it uses the energy that is produced in the light phase of photosynthesis to fix carbon.

It can be said that it consists of or forms the second stage of photosynthesis, in which the carbon of the carbon dioxide that is absorbed is fixed.

So, the statement is true because the Calvin cycle uses the energy that is produced in the light phase of photosynthesis to fix carbon.
