NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -These reactions take the products (ATP and NADPH) of light-dependent reactions and perform further chemical processes on them. 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-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 reduces the power of NADPH from the light-reliant reactions to produce three-carbon sugars. The Calvin cycle is defined as the series of chemical reactions of plants by turning or reducing carbon dioxide into glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -The carbon atoms used to build carbohydrate molecules comes from carbon dioxide, the gas that animals exhale with each breath. The Calvin cycle is the term used for the reactions of photosynthesis that use the energy stored by the light-dependent reactions to form glucose and other carbohydrate molecules.

Detailed explanation-5: -This illustration shows that ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions are used in the Calvin cycle to make sugar.
