THE CALVIN CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
To bring in nonliving carbon (CO2) and use it to make organic compounds is a process called ____
A
carbon fixiation
B
cellular respiration
C
catabolic reactions
D
mitosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -“Carbon fixation is the process by which plants fix atmospheric carbon to form organic compounds.” All the autotrophs, bacteria, algae and plants fix atmospheric carbon dioxide by the process of photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbon fixation is the process wherein photosynthetic organisms (such as plants) turn inorganic carbon into organic compounds (carbohydrates).

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis in plants makes useful organic compounds out of carbon dioxide through carbon-fixation reactions. The process of photosynthesis in plants involves a series of steps and reactions that use solar energy, water, and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and organic compounds.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis is an anabolic pathway that converts carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds using energy from sunlight. This process occurs in algae and plants.

Detailed explanation-5: -Biological carbon fixation or arbon assimilation is the process by which inorganic carbon (particularly in the form of carbon dioxide) is converted to organic compounds by living organisms. The compounds are then used to store energy and as structure for other biomolecules.
