Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which product is the main out out of the Calvin Cycle?
A
oxygen
B
water
C
carbon dioxide
D
glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The primary product of the Calvin cycle is glyceraldehyde three phosphate or G3P. G3P is then used to synthesize glucose, and glucose is then used as the monomeric monosaccharide to produce larger polymeric polysaccharides. The Calvin cycle is also called the dark reactions of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The reactions of the Calvin cycle add carbon (from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere) to a simple five-carbon molecule called RuBP. These reactions use chemical energy from NADPH and ATP that were produced in the light reactions. The final product of the Calvin cycle is glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Calvin cycle uses carbon from the carbon dioxide, energy from the ATP, and high-energy electrons and hydrogen ions from the NADPH. The cycle’s output is an energy-rich sugar molecule. That sugar is not yet glucose, but a smaller sugar named G3P.

Detailed explanation-4: -It creates a triplet of items in the C3 cycle which are 3-Phosphoglycerate (3-PGA), glyceraldehyde 3-P (GAP), and dihydroxyacetone phosphate or DHAP. Plants cell produce organic molecules utilizing the products of light reactions like ATP and NADPH.
