The statement "The Calvin cycle is the light-independent (does not need light) step of photosynthesis and happens in the stroma." is true.
The correct statement is:
The Calvin cycle is the light-independent (does not need light) step of photosynthesis and happens in the stroma.
The correct statement is: "The Calvin cycle is the light-independent (does not need light) step of photosynthesis and happens in the stroma."
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the Calvin cycle and where it takes place.
The Calvin cycle is a series of chemical reactions that occurs in the stroma of the chloroplasts in plant cells during photosynthesis. It is the second phase of photosynthesis, following the light-dependent reactions that occur in the thylakoid membrane.
During the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide and energy-rich molecules, like ATP and NADPH, are used to produce glucose and other organic compounds. This process does not directly require light, hence it is called the light-independent or dark reaction. Since it occurs in the stroma, the correct statement is that the Calvin cycle happens in the stroma.
Therefore, the correct statement is: "The Calvin cycle is the light-independent (does not need light) step of photosynthesis and happens in the stroma."
