Question

where does the light independent reaction take place? options: stroma, thylakoid membrane, matrix, cytoplasm

Explanation:

The light - independent reaction (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast. The thylakoid membrane is where the light - dependent reactions take place. The matrix is part of mitochondria (site of some steps of cellular respiration). The cytoplasm is a general part of the cell but not the specific site for the light - independent reaction of photosynthesis.

Answer:

Stroma
