Question

When a plant is entering the calvin cycle of photosythesis______.

light energy is required to proceed
light energy is not required to proceed
light energy cannot be present to proceed
light energy and stored energy is required to proceed

Answer 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.

So basically it indirectly needs the light, even it's called light-independant reaction.

So the answer is the last one.
