The Calvin cycle, the "dark reactions" or carbon fixation reactions of photosynthesis, cannot occur at night in a living plant. Which of the following best describes why this is true? The stomata are incapable of opening at night, thus CO2 cannot enter the leaf. The reactions of the Calvin cycle are dependent on light reactions for high-energy compounds. Several enzymes necessary for Calvin cycle activity have been degraded during the day and must be replaced. Light is required to transport the water necessary for the cycle. Cooler temperatures at night slow enzyme activity and rates of substrate diffusion.
