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.

Answer:

Independent variable - vitamin gro and exercise routine.

Dependent variable - growth of children or nieces.

Explanation:

There are two variables present in an experiment called dependent and independent variables.

Independent variables are those variables which can be controlled in an experiment and dependent variables are those variables which are measured in the experiment under the influence of the independent variable.

In the given experiment, the independent variable will be vitamin gro and exercise routine and the dependent variable is the growth of children or nieces because vitamin gro and exercise routine can be controlled and growth of children is dependent on vitamin gro and exercise routine.
