The Calvin cycle is called the dark cycle because it does not require light to proceed. Unlike light reactions, the Calvin cycle is a light-independent reaction, which means it can and will occur in the dark as well as the light.
Calvin cycle or light independent reaction
The light reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts, while the Calvin cycle (dark reactions) occurs in the stroma of the chloroplasts. The light reactions capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH), which is used in the Calvin cycle to fix carbon dioxide and produce sugars.
The Calvin cycle, which is the process of carbon fixation in photosynthesis, occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast. This is where the enzymes and molecules involved in the cycle are located, allowing for the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose.
The cycle that is also called the dark reaction in photosynthesis is the Calvin cycle. This process occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts and involves the fixation of carbon dioxide into glucose molecules using energy from ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions.
No, the term cycle is usually used to describe the Calvin cycle, which is part of the light-independent reactions in photosynthesis. This cycle is responsible for fixing carbon dioxide and producing sugars.
That is the Dark cycle. Also called Calvin cycle
the calvin cycle
It cannot occur in the dark. It contains an enzyme called rubisco which is a light-activated enzyme. Also the Calvin cycle uses the chemical energy produced in the light reactions, and the light reactions need sunlight energy in order to produce the energy needed in the Calvin cycle. Hope that helps :)
The light-dependent reactions of the Calvin cycle require light to occur and take place in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast. These reactions generate ATP and NADPH. In contrast, the dark reactions (Calvin-Benson cycle) occur in the stroma of the chloroplast and use ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions to fix carbon dioxide and produce sugars.
The Calvin Cycle is also known as the dark phase of photosynthesis.

The Calvin Cycle
It is called calvin cycle. It is called dark reaction too
yes
The Calvin cycle, which is part of the process of photosynthesis, can occur in both light and dark conditions. However, it is usually most active in the light when there is sufficient light energy available to drive the reactions.
