Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is not one of the steps of cellular respiration?
A
Glycolysis
B
Krebs (Citric Acid) Cycle
C
Electron Transport Chain
D
Calvin Cycle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Calvin’s cycle does not occur in cellular respiration. This cycle is part of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The answer is (E) the Calvin cycle.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Calvin cycle is part of the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis. The Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH. The Krebs cycle is part of cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Calvin cycle is a form of building up a reaction or anabolic reaction whereas cellular respiration involves break down or catabolism. The Calvin cycle utilizes ATP and NADPH whereas cellular respiration is the method of making these two.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Calvin cycle is a part of photosynthesis, the process plants and other autotrophs use to create nutrients from sunlight and carbon dioxide. The process was first identified by American biochemist Dr. Melvin Calvin in 1957. Hence Calvin cycle is not involved in Respiratory Process.
