Question 8 • HVA 26-27 IM Biology A
The Calvin cycle does not use light directly, so its reactions can occur without light if the needed materials are available. It does require ATP and NADPH, which are produced by the light-dependent reactions and provide energy and reducing power. Therefore, both “The Calvin cycle can occur in the absence of light” and “The Calvin cycle requires ATP and NADPH” apply.
