Which statement about the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis is false?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Light-independent reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle, do not require light to proceed but are indirectly dependent on light to provide the necessary ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions. They can occur in the dark as long as ATP and NADPH are available, but saying they operate in the dark implies they only occur in the absence of light, which is misleading.
