THE CALVIN CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following best describes photosynthesis?
A
Photosynthesis converts radiant energy into chemical energy.
B
Photosynthesis produces carbohydrates.
C
Plants need ATP, oxygen, water, nutrients, and chlorophyll to complete photosynthesis.
D
Plants use mitochondria, water, and carbon dioxide to make sugar.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of photosynthesis is energy-storing because the process converts light energy into chemical energy, which is stored in the bonds of glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis is the process by which organisms that contain the pigment chlorophyll convert light energy into chemical energy which can be stored in the molecular bonds of organic molecules (e.g., sugars).

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is option 1 i.e In photosynthesis by green plants carbon dioxide is used for making carbohydrate. Explanation: Photosynthesis: Photosynthesis requires sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose.

Detailed explanation-5: -So, the correct answer is ‘Kinetic energy to chemical energy to potential energy’.
