In the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis,
A)chlorophyll in the chloroplasts fixes insolation,exciting electrons.
B)molecules of ATP and NADPH are made.
C)ATP and NADPH are used to fix CO₂from the air to create organic molecules (sugars).
D)O₂is the input and CO₂is released.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH (which were produced in the light-dependent reactions) to fix carbon dioxide from the air and create organic molecules, particularly sugars. Choice A describes the light-dependent reactions, Choice B is partially correct but does not describe the specific process of the Calvin cycle, and Choice D is incorrect as the input is CO₂ and the output is O₂.
