Opacity (optics) Opacity is the measure of impenetrability to electromagnetic or other kinds of radiation, especially visible light. In radiative transfer, it describes the absorption and scattering of radiation in a medium, such as a plasma, dielectric, shielding material, glass, etc.
Answers.comÂ® is making the world better one answer at a time. during Calvin Benson cycle carbon dioxide from the air is used to produce glucose and other compounds.
These reactions take the products (ATP and NADPH) of light-dependent reactions and perform further chemical processes on them. There are three phases to the light-independent reactions, collectively called the Calvin cycle: carbon fixation, reduction reactions, and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration. This process occurs only when light is available. Plants do not carry out the Calvin cycle during nighttime.
