View Available Hint(s) In simple summary form, the input of the Calvin cycle for every product is __________, and the output is __________ used for glucose synthesis.

3 CO2 ...;
a three-carbon molecule 6 CO2 ...;
glucose ADP ... ATP NADP+ ...;
NADPH

Answer 1

3 CO₂ ......a three-carbon molecule

Step-by-step explanation:

• Photosynthesis involves the synthesis of food by green plants and algae in the presence of energy from the sun, water, and carbon dioxide.
• The process occurs in two stages known as the light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions also known as the Calvin cycle.
• During light reactions of photosynthesis, water molecules are split by energy from sunlight to give out oxygen gas and hydrogen ions which are channeled to the Calvin cycle.
• Additionally, ATP and NADPH molecules are released.
• In the Calvin cycle, 3 molecules of carbon dioxide are combined with hydrogen ions to yield three carbon-molecules.
• The process also uses ATP and NADPH from the light reactions.
