Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Calvin cycle does not require oxygen (O₂) as it is a process that occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast, which is an oxygen-poor environment.

ATP provides energy to power the conversion of carbon dioxide into organic molecules, NADPH provides reducing power to these reactions, and RuBP is the starting molecule for carbon fixation.
