Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the products of the Calvin Cycle?
A
carbohydrates(glucose)
B
water
C
oxygen
D
ATP
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 carbohydrate products of the Calvin cycle are three-carbon sugar phosphate molecules, or “triose phosphates", namely, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P).

Detailed explanation-3: -Products of Calvin Cycle The products formed after a single turn of the Calvin cycle are 3 ADP, 2 glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) molecules, and 2 NADP+.

Detailed explanation-4: -The molecules of ADP and NAD+, resulting from the reduction reaction, return to the light-dependent reactions to be re-energized. One of the G3P molecules leaves the Calvin cycle to contribute to the formation of the carbohydrate molecule, which is commonly glucose (C6H12O6).

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The primary product of the Calvin cycle is glyceraldehyde three phosphate or G3P. G3P is then used to synthesize glucose, and glucose is then used as the monomeric monosaccharide to produce larger polymeric polysaccharides. The Calvin cycle is also called the dark reactions of photosynthesis.
