Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the primary function of the Calvin cycle?
A
Use NADPH to release carbon dioxide
B
Synthesise simple sugars from carbon dioxide
C
Split water and release oxygen
D
Use ATP to release carbon dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The function of the Calvin cycle is to create three-carbon sugars, which can then be used to build other sugars such as glucose, starch, and cellulose that is used by plants as a structural building material. The Calvin cycle takes molecules of carbon straight out of the air and turns them into plant matter.

Detailed explanation-2: -Converting Carbon Dioxide and Water Into Glucose In the most general sense, the primary function of the Calvin cycle is to make organic products that plants need using the products from the light reactions of photosynthesis (ATP and NADPH).

Detailed explanation-3: -The primary function of the Calvin cycle is to change carbon dioxide into usable energy known as glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide is fixed to an organic substrate and then sugars are formed. This is a biosynthetic cycle.
