Question

Which of the following questions is most relevant to understanding the Calvin cycle?A) How does chlorophyll capture light?B) How is ATP used in the formation of 3-carbon carbohydrates?C) How is NADP+ reduced to NADPH?D) How is ATP produced in chemiosmosis?

Answer 1

The correct option is B.
There are two major stages in photosynthesis, the light reaction and the Calving cycle. The Calving cycle involves the fixation of the atmospheric carbon dioxide and the reduction of the fixed carbon dioxide into carbohydrate. The intermediate product from one turn of the Calving cycle are two glycealdehyde-3- phosphate molecules, each molecule is made up of three carbons.<span />
