THE CALVIN CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the main product of the Calvin Cycle?
A
Stroma
B
Thylakoids
C
Glucose
D
Water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The Calvin Cycle You’ve learned that the first, light-dependent stage of photosynthesis uses two of the three reactants, water and light, and produces one of the products, oxygen gas (a waste product of this process).

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
