Where do the light-independent reactions take place?

Answer explanation

During photosynthesis, the reactions that do not require light to build sugar. This is also called the Calvin Cycle. This takes places in the Stroma of the chloroplast.

The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis are also known as the

• Calvin Cycle

• Sugar Cycle

• Carbon Cycle

• ATP Cycle

Define "anaerobic"

Answer explanation

process that does not require oxygen

• A power plant that generates energy

• A rechargeable battery that stores and releases energy

• A pigment that receives the energy of sunlight

• A hammer that helps break apart water molecules

The process that releases energy from food in the presence of oxygen is

• synthesis

• cellular respiration

• ATP synthesis

• photosynthesis

Where do the light-dependent reactions take place?

Answer explanation

During photosynthesis, the reactions that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH. This takes place in the thylakoids.
