10) Where do the enzymatic reactions of the Calvin cycle take place? A) stroma of the chloroplast B) thylakoid membranes C) matrix of the mitochondria D) cytosol around the chloroplast E) thylakoid space

Answer :

Oseni

Answer:

A) stroma of the chloroplast

Explanation:

The Calvin cycle, also known as the light independent reaction of photosynthesis is an important reaction of photosynthesis during which carbon dioxide become fixed.

While the first part of the reaction (the light reaction) takes place in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast, the Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma, that is, the inner space of the chloroplast.

Hence, the correct option is A.

Answer:

The correct answer is: A) stroma of the chloroplast.

Explanation:

The Calvin cycle is a process that occurs in organisms capable of photosynthesis, where it converts carbon dioxide into glucose that will provide energy to the cell. Since it doesn't need solar energy like the other part of photosynthesis (light-dependent reaction), the Calvin cycle is also known as the light-independent reaction.

The Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast, which is an area filled with fluids that is outside of the thylakoid membranes.
