Answer:

NADPH

Explanation:

Calvin cycle is also known as a light-independent reaction, this reaction takes place in the Stroma, and it does not require direct light. Instead of this, the Calvin cycle uses NADPH and ATP from the light-dependent cycle to reduce CO2 and produce a 3carbon sugar molecule (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate), or G3P molecule, they join up to form a glucose molecule.

The light-dependent reaction absorbs the light energy and stores it temporarily in the form of NADPH and ATP. Then ATP is broken down for the release of energy and NADPH donates its electron to reduce CO2 into sugars and other organic molecules.

How is movement of energy through aerobic cellular respiration
Alex_Xolod [135]

Cellular respiration is the process that cells use to break down food to use as an energy. Aerobic cellular respiration uses oxygen and yields many more ATP molecules than anaerobic cellular respiration, which does not use oxygen and yields only two ATP molecules.

Which of the following is not a reason for the wide use of CFC's during the 1920's - 1990's?
Mila [183]
CFCs are Chlorofluorocarbon substances used in refrigerants (subtances used to keep other things cold) and in aerosol products.

they are both relatively nontoxic(nonpoisonous) and nonflammabale - at least as compared to alternatives.

They are rather volatile - they are not very stable. Therefore it does not make sense to say that they are strong - the correct answer is then strength.
