The primary products of the light independent reactions (after one turn of the cycle) are:
a) two G3P molecules
b) three ADP
c) two NADP+
However ADP and NADP+ are not really "products". They are regenerated and later used again in the Light-dependent reactions. Each G3P molecule is composed of three carbons.
For the Calvin cycle (Light independent cycle) to continue, 5 out of the 6 carbons provided by the two G3P molecules are used to regenerate ribulose 1, 5 phosphate. Therefore there remains only one carbon for the next turn of the cycle.
One molecule of glucose requires 6 turns of the cycle. Any extra G3P is used to make starch, sucrose and cellulose.
A mother passes on her mt(DNA) or mitochondrial DNA which sometimes includes genetic material but a father only passes down a Y chromosome if he has a son. No genetic material.
The basic unit of life is a D. cell.
D is the correct answer because although life is also made up of the other options, in the end, they are all made up of cells. A tissue is a group of specialized cells, and an organ is made up of different tissues. An organ system is a system of organs that work together.
Hope that helped you.
