Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The Calvin cycle uses which of the following to produce glucose?
A
oxygen
B
proteins
C
carbon dioxide and H+
D
water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Six “turns” of the Calvin cycle use chemical energy from ATP to combine six carbon atoms from six CO2 molecules with 12 “hot hydrogens” from NADPH. The result is one molecule of glucose, C6H12O6.

Detailed explanation-2: -The calvin cycle uses six molecules of carbon dioxide, 18 molecules of ATP, and 12 molecules of NADPH to produce one molecule of glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Calvin cycle uses the chemical energy of ATP and reducing power of NADPH from the light dependent reactions to produce sugars for the plant to use.

Detailed explanation-4: -The sources of energy in the Calvin cycle are Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen (NADPH) which are formed during the light reaction in the thylakoid membrane.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The Calvin cycle is a metabolic pathway in photosynthesis. The reactions in the Calvin cycle are light-independent. This is when carbon dioxide (CO2 C O 2 ) is fixed and eventually turned into glucose.
