Answer:

The enzymes of Calvin Cycle responsible for cabon fixation( Ribulose Biphospahte Carbonxylase) Rubisco is located in the STROMA, together with sugar and inorganic acids. The stroma is the fluid portion, of chloroplasts, located in the inner membrane outside the thylakoid membrane . Therefore option A -The inner layer of the chloroplast membrane is labeled. is the correct answer.

It is a light independent reaction which makes use of ATPs and NADPH from the light dependent reaction to synthesize Carbohydrate(glucose), amino acid and lipds.

Answer: A. The inner layer of the chloroplast membrane is labeled

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually in plants, carbon dioxide enters the interior part of leaf through the pores also known as stomata and then diffuses into the stroma of the chloroplast.

Unlike the reactions to light, which take place in the thylakoid membrane, the reactions of the Calvin cycle take place in the stroma, also called the internal space of the chloroplasts, so it also takes place in the coroplast's storma.
