What is the third stage of the Calvin cycle?
A
Carboxylation
B
Reduction
C
Regeneration
D
Carbohydrate synthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Regeneration. It is the third stage of the Calvin cycle and is a complex process that requires ATP. In this stage, some of the G3P molecules are used to produce glucose, while others are recycled to regenerate the RuBP acceptor.

Detailed explanation-2: -In stage 3, RuBP, the molecule that starts the cycle, is regenerated so that the cycle can continue. Only one carbon dioxide molecule is incorporated at a time, so the cycle must be completed three times to produce a single three-carbon GA3P molecule, and six times to produce a six-carbon glucose molecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Calvin cycle reactions can be divided into three main stages: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration of the starting molecule.

Detailed explanation-4: -(1) Reduction, during which carbohydrate is formed at the expense of the photochemically made ATP and NADPH. (2) Regeneration, during which the carbon dioxide acceptor ribulose-1, 5-biphosphate is formed. (3) Carboxylation, during which carbon dioxide combines with ribulose-1, 5-biphosphate.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Calvin Cycle: Carbon Fixation Reaction The carbon fixation cycle is also called the Calvin cycle, after Melvin Calvin who first identified it, and the C3 cycle, due to the three-carbon acid that is produced in the first step. The Calvin Cycle consists of three stages: carboxylation, reduction, and regeneration.
