The answer is False: The Calvin cycle is part of the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

  • The Calvin cycle, also known as the Calvin-Benson cycle, is a series of biochemical reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts in photosynthetic organisms. It is part of the light-independent reactions, also known as the dark reactions, because it does not require light to occur. Instead, it uses the ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
  • The light-dependent reactions, on the other hand, occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts and require light to produce ATP and NADPH, which are then used in the Calvin cycle.
