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 carbohydrate products of the Calvin cycle are three-carbon sugar phosphate molecules, or “triose phosphates", namely, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P).

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -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-5: -This illustration shows that ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions are used in the Calvin cycle to make sugar.
