The Calvin cycle does not occur in solar energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The reaction of the Calvin cycle is not dependent on light as it occurs in dark or at night and it does not need solar energy from the sun to occur.

In the Calvin cycle, the following reactions occur:


  • Co_(2) is fixed from inorganic molecules to organic molecules.
  • ATP and NADP formed in the light-dependent reaction is taken up and is used to reduce 3- PGA into G3P and ATP is converted to ADP and NADP is changed to
    NADP^(+).
  • RuBP has been generated again which enables more fixation of
    Co_(2)
  • It is also known as a carbon-fixation process.
