Assertion (A): The Calvin cycle occurs in the mesophyll cells of C3 plants.
Reason (R): In the Calvin cycle, RuBP regeneration requires ATP for phosphorylation.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The Calvin cycle occurs in the mesophyll cells of C3 plants, and during this cycle, RuBP regeneration needs ATP for phosphorylation. However, the reason does not explain the assertion as the location of the Calvin cycle is not determined by ATP usage.
