|
|
The Calvin cycle requires carbon dioxide while the Citric acid cycle requires 3 carbon molecules.
|
|
|
The Calvin cycle occurs in the chloroplasts and the Citric acid cycle occurs in mitochondria.
|
|
|
The Calvin cycle has anabolic reactions while the Citric acid cycle has catabolic reactions.
|
|
|
All of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Calvin cycle is an anabolic pathway that is a light-independent cycle that leads to the synthesis of glucose. Whereas the citric acid cycle (TCA) is a catabolic pathway that results in the synthesis of reduced coenzymes NADH and ATP.
Detailed explanation-2: -The citric acid cycle is called a cycle because the starting molecule, oxaloacetate (which has 4 carbons), is regenerated at the end of the cycle.
Detailed explanation-3: -At the end of this series of reactions, the four-carbon starting molecule, oxaloacetate, is regenerated, allowing the cycle to begin again.
Detailed explanation-4: -What do the Calvin cycle and the Citric acid cycle have in common? Anaerobic means that oxygen is present.
