Answer to Question #219936 in Organic Chemistry for DD

Question

The Calvin cycle is considered blank because it doesn’t involve photoexcitation

Answer 1

The Calvin cycle is also sometimes referred to as the “light independent” reactions of photosynthesis, since it is not powered directly by photons from the Sun. Instead, the Calvin cycle is powered by ATP and NADPH, which are created by harnessing the energy from photons in the light-dependent reactions.
