Structure and function: Calvin Cycle
Author: Andrea Milosevic
The Calvin Cycle, otherwise known as the light independent reaction, is a key component in photosynthesis and occurs following the light reaction. It is known as the light independent reaction because unlike the light reaction, it does not directly depend on sunlight. There are three key steps to the Calvin Cycle which are listed below the diagram.
