The Calvin cycle happens in the stroma of the chloroplast.
The enzymatic reactions of the Calvin cycle take place in the stroma of the chloroplasts in plant cells. This is where the enzymes responsible for the fixation of carbon dioxide and the production of sugars are located.
Some of the enzymes found in the stroma of chloroplasts include ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO), phosphoglycerate kinase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase. These enzymes are involved in the Calvin cycle and other metabolic pathways within the chloroplast.
Temperature affects living things mainly by affecting the rate of chemical reactions. These are catalysed by enzymes, which are speeded up by increasing the temperature. The Calvin cycle is a series of chemical reactions, so increasing the temperature increases the rate of reactions in the Calvin cycle and so increases the rate of photosynthesis.
Yes, carbon-assimilating steps in photosynthesis, such as the Calvin cycle, are indeed dependent on enzymes. These enzymes facilitate the conversion of carbon dioxide into organic molecules, such as glucose, in a series of biochemical reactions. Changes in temperature can affect the activity of these enzymes and consequently impact the overall rate of photosynthesis.
The two major sets of reactions involved in photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). In the light-dependent reactions, light energy is used to produce ATP and NADPH, while in the Calvin cycle, ATP and NADPH are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
Chloroplasts are the organelles that contain chlorophyll and the enzymes necessary for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is the green pigment that captures light energy, while the enzymes facilitate the biochemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. These processes occur in two main stages: the light-dependent reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membranes, and the Calvin cycle, which occurs in the stroma of the chloroplasts.

Calvin cycle or light independent reaction
Enzymes lower the activation energy required for reactions to occur
because the Calvin cycle does not require light
