Why doesn't Calvin cycle occur at night?

Obviously, there is no sunlight energy for light dependent reactions to occur while calvin cycle AKA light independent phase does not require light as it uses energy in the form of ATP and the NADPH to form sugars


How do photosystem 1 and 2 allow the calvin cycle to work?

No. Photosystems I and II are where light-dependent reactions occur, while the Calvin Cycle is where light-independent reactions occur. Photosynthesis begins with Photosystem II, then Photosystem I, then the products from there go to the Calvin Cycle. (yes photosystem II comes before photosystem I)


Why can the Calvin cycle work at night but the photosystems connot?

Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast and utilizes the NADPH and ATP produced in the process of light dependent reaction( or what we say the z- scheme reaction). If both are present then the Calvin cycle can occur even at night. because the Calvin cycle is light independent reaction. whereas the photo system as asked in the question actually refers to light dependent reaction( or what we say the z- scheme reaction) requires light.


Do the dark reactions occur in the thylakoids?

A dark reaction is done in the Calvin Cycle. Light is not needed at the time of the dark reaction but it also doesn't hinder the reaction if there is light at the time.So in short. Yes.


Why can the Calvin cycle work at night but photosystems cant?

Because photosystems need light to operate (photo=light). Photosystems use energy from sunlight, Calvin systems use energy stored in the plant.


How does reflective cycle clothing work?

Reflective cycle clothing reflects light from its surroundings. It warns other cyclists, motorists, and people that you are there in low light or dark.


How does starch produce in leaves?

Yes, the calvin cycle can take place in the absence of light. The products of the light reactions if available can drive the calvin cycle in the absence of light. Basically , a plant needs ATP and NADPH to carry on the calvin cycle where sugar is made. CAM plants are able to produce sugar at night.
