  • Photosynthesis: Location and the Calvin Cycle Explained
    The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis occur in the stroma of the chloroplast.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Chloroplast: The organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis takes place.

    * Stroma: The fluid-filled space within the chloroplast, surrounding the thylakoid membranes.

    The light-independent reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle, use the energy stored in ATP and NADPH (produced during the light-dependent reactions) to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
