State whether the following is true or false.
The Calvin cycle can proceed in darkness provided ATP and NADPH are available.

  • A.True
  • B.False
  • C.True only at large scales
  • D.False only at small scales

Answer: A

It requires no light directly, which is why it was long called the dark reaction, though in practice its supply of ATP and NADPH depends on the light reactions. The older name misleads by suggesting it happens only at night.
