The Calvin cycle would eventually halt without

  • A

    Continuous supply of ATP and NADPH from the light reactions

  • B

    Continuous supply of glucose and starch from the chloroplast

  • C

    Continuous supply of CO₂ and O₂ from the atmosphere

  • D

    Continuous supply of NADH and FADH₂ from the mitochondria

Explanation

Calvin enzymes can run in the dark briefly using stored ATP/NADPH pools, but they're depleted quickly without the light reactions replenishing them.
