Answer 1

Answer:

The process illustrated in the diagram is the non light dependent reactions of photosynthesis termed as Calvin Cycle.

Explanation:

• Two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA) are produced or released from step one to step two of Calvin cycle.
• The source of energy that helps to start step one are ATP and NADPH, mainly derived from the light dependent reaction.
• The oxygen molecule thus formed by splitting of water is release to the nature as oxygen, which living organisms utilizes in respiration.
• Carbon dioxide comes from the atmosphere to start the process.
• Light reactions occurs in the thylakoid membranes of the plant organelles namely chloroplasts.
• Non-light dependent reaction or Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma chloroplasts.
