Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The statement that is false concerning the Calvin-Benson cycle is it D. oxidizes carbons.
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: -True. The Calvin cycle does require sunlight indirectly in order to produce glucose. The light dependent reactions produce ATP and NADPH which are integral to the Calvin cycle.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Calvin Cycle converts three water and three carbon dioxide molecules into one molecule of glyceraldehyde. The six left over oxygen atoms are released into the atmosphere where they are available for use in respiration.
