Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where/when is glucose synthesized?
A
Photosystem II
B
Photosystem I
C
Calvin Cycle
D
Glycolysis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is the second stage of Calvin cycle. The 3-PGA molecules created through carbon fixation are converted into molecules of simple sugar – glucose. This stage obtains energy from ATP and NADPH formed during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Interworkings of the Calvin Cycle. In plants, carbon dioxide (CO2) enters the chloroplast through the stomata and diffuses into the stroma of the chloroplast-the site of the Calvin cycle reactions where sugar is synthesized.

Detailed explanation-3: -Solution: Glucose synthesis occurs during reduction stage of C3 Cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -During photosynthesis glucose is produced during the Calvin cycle, also known as the dark reactions.
