In the context of organic chemistry reactions, where does the light-independent reaction, also known as the Calvin cycle, occur?
A
In the thylakoid membrane
B
In the cytoplasm
C
In the mitochondria
D
In the stroma of chloroplasts
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context: The Calvin cycle is part of the photosynthesis process, specifically the light-independent reactions.
Identify the location: Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, which are organelles found in plant cells.
Differentiate between parts of the chloroplast: Chloroplasts have several components, including the thylakoid membrane, stroma, and grana.
Recognize the function of the stroma: The stroma is the fluid-filled space surrounding the thylakoids within the chloroplast.
Conclude the location: The Calvin cycle, being a light-independent reaction, takes place in the stroma of chloroplasts, where enzymes necessary for the cycle are located.
