<h2>Functions of spleen</h2>

Explanation:

The major functions of spleen besides filtering the blood of foreign materials and phagocytosis of old defective erythrocytes are:

  • Body defense:
  1. Initiate immune responses against infections by liberation of antigen and activation of lymphocytes (T and B cells)  
  2. Secretes bactericidal agents which act against invading bacteria
  3. Secretes interleukins which promote the growth of lymphocytes or antibodies that act against pathogens
  • Reservoir: Pools blood by storing thrombocytes, immature erythrocytes.
  • Hematopoiesis: Blood cells like erythrocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes develop and mature in spleen especially during the early fetal life.

What is the primary product of light independent reactions
SOVA2 [1]

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.
