Question

What is a product of the Calvin cycle?
oxygen gas
ОАТР
high-energy sugar
O carbon dioxide gas

Answer 1

Answer:

The product of Calvin's cycle is high energy sugar.

Explanation:

The Calvin cycle involves a group of chemical reactions in which glucose is obtained from carbon dioxide (CO₂). These reactions occur in the dark phase of photosynthesis and consume energy, to produce a high energy sugar.

The first phase of Calvin's cycle involves the assimilation of CO₂, which he does by binding the gas to ribulose bisphosphate. The second phase consists of glucose synthesis through a specific sequence of steps where NADPH and ATP provide the energy needed for this process.

The other options are not correct because:

• Oxygen gas is a product of photosynthesis, which is released into the environment.
• ATP is not produced by Calvin's cycle, but is used to synthesize glucose.
• Carbon dioxide gas is incorporated into the plant to perform the Calvin cycle, so it is a substrate not a product.
