Which of the following does not occur during the Calvin cycle? A)carbon fixation B)oxidation of NADPH C)release of oxygen D)regeneration of the CO₂ acceptor

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The release of oxygen occurs during photosynthesis, specifically during the light reactions of photosynthesis when water is split, but not during the Calvin cycle which occurs during the light-independent reactions. The other three processes listed (carbon fixation, oxidation of NADPH, and regeneration of the acceptor molecule) are all essential steps of the Calvin cycle.
