Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is NOT a product of the Calvin Cycle?
A
NADP+
B
NADPH
C
ADP
D
G3P (to form glucose)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -How the products of the light reactions, ATP and NADPH, are used to fix carbon into sugars in the second stage of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Products. The immediate products of one turn of the Calvin cycle are 2 glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) molecules, 3 ADP, and 2 NADP+. (ADP and NADP+ are not really “products". They are regenerated and later used again in the light-dependent reactions).

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Products of Calvin Cycle Generally, the carbohydrate products of the Calvin cycle are the three carbon sugar phosphate molecules or the triose phosphates (G3P). The products formed after a single turn of the Calvin cycle are 3 ADP, 2 glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) molecules, and 2 NADP+.
