Question
what are the green disks in the chloroplasts called? what reaction takes place in the thylakoids? where does the calvin cycle happen?
Brief Explanations
- The Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts. It is the light - independent reaction of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is fixed to produce carbohydrates.
- The reactions that take place in the thylakoids are the light - dependent reactions. These reactions involve the absorption of light energy, splitting of water molecules, and generation of ATP and NADPH.
- The green disks in the chloroplasts are called grana. Each granum is a stack of thylakoids.
