The primary products of the light independent reactions (after one turn of the cycle) are:

a) two G3P molecules

b) three ADP

c) two NADP+

However ADP and NADP+ are not really "products". They are regenerated and later used again in the Light-dependent reactions. Each G3P molecule is composed of three carbons.

For the Calvin cycle (Light independent cycle) to continue, 5 out of the 6 carbons provided by the two G3P molecules are used to regenerate ribulose 1, 5 phosphate. Therefore there remains only one carbon for the next turn of the cycle.

One molecule of glucose requires 6 turns of the cycle. Any extra G3P is used to make starch, sucrose and cellulose.

disa [49]

Answer: metagenomics

Explanation:

Metagenomics is the study of the collective genome of the microorganisms obtain from the environment. The study can provide details of the microbial diversity and ecology for a particular environment. It allows the identification of the specific microbial species from the mixture of genomic samples. The metagenomics is useful in solving the problems related to other fields such as medicine, agriculture, engineering and ecology.
