Pani-rosa [81]3 years ago

Answer:

6 carbon dioxide molecules

Explanation:

The Calvin cycle generates the necessary reactions for the fixation of carbon in a solid structure for the formation of glucose and, in turn, regenerates the molecules for the continuation of the cycle.

The Calvin cycle is also known as the dark phase of photosynthesis or also called the carbon fixation phase. It is known as the dark phase because it is not light dependent as is the first phase or light phase .

This second stage of photosynthesis fixes the carbon of the absorbed carbon dioxide and generates the precise number of biochemical elements and processes necessary to produce sugar and recycle the remaining material for continuous production.

The Calvin cycle uses the energy produced in the light phase of photosynthesis to fix the carbon dioxide (CO2) carbon in a solid structure such as glucose, in order to generate energy.

The glucose molecule composed of a six-carbon main structure will be further processed in glycolysis for the preparatory phase of the Krebs cycle, both part of the cellular respiration.

The Calvin cycle produces in six turns a six-carbon glucose molecule and regenerates three RuBP that will be catalyzed again by the RuBisCo enzyme with CO2 molecules for the restart of the Calvin cycle.

The Calvin cycle requires six molecules of CO2, 18 ATP and 12 NADPH produced in the light phase of photosynthesis to produce a glucose molecule and regenerate three RuBP molecules.

Leni [432]
<span>CH4 + 4 Cl2 → CCl4 + 4 HCl (4.00 mol CH4) x (1/1) x (0.70) = 2.80 mol CCl4 (4.00 mol CH4) x (4/1) x (0.70) = 11.2 mol HCl CCl4 + 2 HF → CCl2F2 + 2 HCl (2.80 mol CCl4) x (2/1) x (0.70) = 3.92 mol HCl 11.2 mol + 3.92 mol = 15.1 mol HCl from both steps</span>

Draw the isotopic notation for an element with 15 protons, 18 neutrons and 18 electrons
tatiyna

Answer:

can't be done

Explanation:

protons and electrons always are the same number,and the neutrons are found by subtracting the atomic mass and protons/electrons soooooooo it can't have 15 protons, 18 electrons, and 18 neutrons.......i hope this helped if not please tell me.
