Where does the light-independent reaction take place?
Q: Where does the light-independent reaction take place?
A: The light-independent reaction takes place in plant chloroplasts.
Q: What is the process called that makes sugars from carbon dioxide?
A: The process is called the Calvin cycle.
Q: What products of the light-dependent reaction are used in the light-independent reaction?
A: ATP and NADPH are used in the light-independent reaction.
Q: Can the light-independent reaction happen without the light-dependent reaction?
A: No, the light-independent reaction cannot happen without the light-dependent reaction.
Q: What is translocation?
A: Translocation is the movement of sugars made in the light-independent reactions around the plant.
Q: Where in the chloroplast does translocation take place?
A: Translocation takes place in the grana region of the chloroplast.
Q: Is the light-independent reaction aerobic or anaerobic?
A: The light-independent reaction is anaerobic and does not use oxygen.
