The correct answer for this question is (D) It can proceed in the dark.

Calvin cycle is named after Melvin C. Calvin, who won a Nobel prize in chemistry for finding it in 1961. Calvin cycle take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis and it is a <u>light-independent reaction so also called as dark reaction.</u>

The Calvin cycle proceeds in three stages:

1. Carboxylation, during which CO2 combines with ribulose-1,5- bisphosphate

2. Reduction, during which carbohydrate is formed at the expense of photochemically made ATP and NADPH

3. Regeneration during which the CO2 acceptor ribulose-1,5- bisphosphate is formed again so that the cycle continues.

What is a ecosystem? write 2 to 5 sentences to explain it​
Nonamiya [84]

Ecosystem is that it is a community or group of living organisms that live in and interact with each other in a specific environment.

For instance, tropical forests are ecosystems made up of living beings such as trees, plants, animals, insects and micro-organisms that are in constant interaction between themselves and that are affected by other physical (sun, temperature) or chemical (oxygen or nutrients) components.


An ecosystem consists of a community of organisms together with their physical environment.
Ecosystems can be of different sizes and can be marine, aquatic, or terrestrial. Broad categories of terrestrial ecosystems are called biomes.
In ecosystems, both matter and energy are conserved. Energy flows through the system—usually from light to heat—while matter is recycled.
Ecosystems with higher biodiversity tend to be more stable with greater resistance and resilience in the face of disturbances, or disruptive events.

In order for a fat molecule to be saturated, it must have what characteristic?
marin [14]
Fat (lipid) molecules are made up mostly of long chains of carbon atoms.
For a fat molecule to be considered saturated, the carbon chain must have only single bonds between them. 
Schematically, they look like  -C-C-C-C-  ...

If the carbon chain contains one or more double bonds, such as  -C=C-C-C, then the given lipid molecule is unsaturated.

If a lipid molecule (fatty acid) contains exactly one double bond in its chain, and the rest are single bonds, it is then called monosaturated.  It is a more healthy food source than saturated fats.

Saturated fat are generally solid at room temperatures.  Examples include lard, butter, mostly from animal sources.  However, coconut oil (solid at room temperatures as well) is a saturated fat.
