The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in plant cells take place in the stroma.
Is it true that the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in plant cells take place in the stroma?
Yes. The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, such as the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle, take place within the stroma of plant chloroplasts.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The claim is a well-established biological fact about the localization of the Calvin cycle within plant chloroplasts. Multiple retrieved papers explicitly state that carbon assimilation and light-independent reactions occur in the stroma.
