The correct answer is: A. hydrolysis of ATP to ADP

This step occurs in the light-dependent phase of photosynthesis.

Calvin cycle is the second phase of photosynthesis also called light-independent reactions (no light required for this step). This process occurs in in the stroma (the inner space of chloroplasts) and during it three-carbon sugars are produced from CO2. Calvin cycle can be divided into three steps:

1. Carbon fixation where CO2 from the air is “apsorbed” by plants and combined with a five-carbon acceptor molecule, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP). Formed molecule with 6 C atoms is then split into two 3-phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA) molecules by the enzyme rubisco.

2. Reduction refers to conversion of 3-PGA to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), sugar that can be used in further steps of photosynthesis. NADP+ is reduced to NADPH.

3. Regeneration refers to recycle of some G3P in order to regenerate the RuBP acceptor for the carbon fixation.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolves into ocen surface waters
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide, which is naturally in the atmosphere, dissolves into seawater. Water and carbon dioxide combine to form carbonic acid (H2CO3), a weak acid that breaks (or “dissociates”) into hydrogen ions (H+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-).

A(n) _____ is an abbreviation for the name of an element and has either one or two letters.
snow_tiger [21]
This is refered to as the chemical symbol. It is derived from the Latin name for the element which is why some elements like potassium (K) and sodium (N) have symbols different from their name on the periodic table.
