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.
C. Australia was covered in ice during a key geologic period.
at the time of coal forming, Australia was closest to the south pole, so it was too cold.
Answer: The correct answer is salt.
A compound is a chemical substance which is formed by the combination of two or more elements, joined together in a fixed proportion.
Salt is a chemical compound which is formed by the reaction of an acid with a base. For example- NaCl ( sodium chloride) is a common salt. It is formed by the combination of two elements. Therefore, salt is a compound.
On the contrary, Phosphorous (P), sulfur (S) and Oxygen (O₂) are composed of a single element. Therefore, they are not compounds.
Thus, the correct answer for the compound is Salt

D. Increases, then remains the same
As seen on the graph, the amount of photosynthesis rises and then maintains in a straight line, meaning it is staying the same. Hope that helps!!
