-Also, how does the Calvin Cycle (Light Independent Reaction) work without Light Reactions if they are dependent on eachother for ATP, NADPH-H+, ADP + Pi , and NADP+? Is that so much ATP is produced by plants that it does not have to be constantly recharged?
-Do parts that are not green on plants (like flower petals) contain chloroplasts? How are they different colors (not green, but red, yellow etc.)?
-How do the chloroplasts "die" in the autumn?
Do nonphotosynthetic parts of plants (e.g. roots) still have chloroplasts within the cells?
-Yes they still have chloroplasts but in smaller quantities.
-The Calvin Cycle takes place during the day, it is only in CAM plants that the ATP is produced during the day and then used at night. While the light reactions take place the Calvin Cycle is taking place. Most plants rest at night like us.
-Yes they contain chloroplast but mostly Caratenoids, which is the pigment that produces the red,yellow and orange color.
-I've never heard that chloroplasts die in atumun, sorry can't help you with that.
