Answer - D They comprise Calvin cycle (Rest of the options are wrong)
Light independent reactions in photosynthesis occur outside the thylakoids. They use ATP and NADPH from the light dependent reactions for the process of Calvin cycle to occur.

Answer:

The correct answer would be They comprise the Calvin cycle.

Calvin cycle refers to the set of chemical reactions taking place in the stroma of the chloroplast in which carbon is fixed into food (glucose). The whole process is divided into three stages namely: fixation, reduction, and regeneration (ribulose bisphosphate or RuBP).

It takes place in light-independent reaction of the the photosynthesis.

It does not require light energy to carry out the reactions however, it depends upon the products of light reaction (ATP and NADPH).

Fixation of one molecule of glucose requires 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 9 ATP and 6 NADPH.

The fixation of carbon is catalyzed by an enzyme RuBisCO.

What is photosynthesis

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's activities.

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related apex?

pentagon [3]

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are related in that; photosynthesis is a process that is tasked in making glucose which is then used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then converted to carbon dioxide during cellular respiration, which is used in photosynthesis. Water on the other hand is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
