The Calvin cycle, also called the light-independent or carbon fixation reactions, is the second stage of photosynthesis where water, and carbon dioxide (CO2) from air, are converted into organic compounds (i.e. sugars) using the energy from short-lived electronically excited carriers (ATP and NADPH) for the reactions. These organic compounds can then be used by the producing organism (i.e. plants) and the animals that feed on it. 

One product of the Calvin cycle is the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), which is later on used in the production of glucose and in the regeneration of <span>Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), which is an organic compound</span> essential to the reactions in the cycle. 

One turn of Calvin Cycle produces 2 G3P molecules, each comprising of 3 carbons. This gives a total of 6 carbons. Five (5) of these carbons will be used to regenerate RuBP and only 1 will be available to form a surplus G3P later on. This surplus G3P will be used for the production of glucose (a 6-carbon sugar). 

Thus, 3 turns of the carbon cycle will produce 1 surplus G3P. There are 8 sets of 3-turns in 24 cycles, therefore, 

                       1 net G3P molecule * 8 sets of 3-turns  = 8 G3P molecules

Therefore, there are 8 net or surplus G3P molecules produced for 24 cycles of the Calvin Cycle. The total G3P molecules produced, including the ones that participated in the regeneration of RuBP would be 48 G3Ps. 

For every 3 turns, 6 G3P molecules are produced, 5 of which will be used in the regeneration of RuBP and 1 will be the net or surplus, to be used for the production of glucose. The 48 G3Ps then come from the calculation, 

                       6 total G3P molecules * 8 sets of 3-turns  = 48 G3P molecules


The figure below shows the products of the cycle after 3 turns (Source: https://ka-perseus-images.s3.amazonaws.com/2f4bdc8f8275834d3f5ef434d93bf16b991b2357.png).

1) Acidic - gastric juices pH 1, lemon juice pH 2.2, tomato juice pH 4.

2) Neutral - salt solution pH 7.

3) Alkaline - baking soda pH 9, bleach pH 13.

pH is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.

When pH is less than seven (pH<7), solution is acidic.

When is equal seven (pH = 7), solution is neutral.  

When pH is greater than seven (pH > 7), solution is basic.

What is the volume of an object with a mass of 31g and density of 444g/ml​
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 0.07 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density} \\

From the question

mass = 31 g

density = 444 g/mL

We have

volume =  \frac{31}{444}   \\  = 0.06981...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.07 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

consider an atom having four distinct neergy levels. if an electron is able to make transitions between, any two levels, how man
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

6 different frequencies

Explanation:

From energy level 1 to 2 is one frequency, from energy level 1 to 3 is one frequency and From energy level 1 to 4 is one frequency. So, we have a total of 3 frequencies for transition from energy level 1.

From energy level 2 to 3 is one frequency and from energy level 2 to 4 is one frequency. So, we have a total of 2 frequencies for transition from energy level 2.

From energy level 3 to 4 is one frequency.

So we have a total of 3 + 2 + 1 different frequencies = 6 different frequencies.

Note that the reverse process for each step produces the same frequency as the step in consideration.

What is the maximum mass of ethyl alcohol you could boil with 1000 j of heat, starting from 22 ∘c?
kramer

solution:

1000 = m*2400*(78-22) + m*8.79*10^5

1000= 134400m + 879000m

1000= 1030200m

m = 1000/1013400

m= 1013.4 grams

the final answer is 0.9706 grams
