Solution(By Examveda Team)

Calvin cycle is supported by light.
The Calvin cycle uses the chemical energy of ATP and the reducing power of NADPH from the light-dependent reactions to produce sugars for the plant to use.
The Calvin cycle thus happens when light is available independent of the kind of photosynthesis, CAM plants store malic acid in their vacuoles every night and release it by day to make this process work.
