In the Calvin cycle a reshuffling of intermediates is necessary A) to ensure uniform incorporation of CO₂ into newly synthesized sugars B) to regenerate the key intermediate with which CO₂ initially reacts C) to use as little ATP as possible D) to use as little NADPH as possible

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer
