Question

HELP. can someone please answer these questions for me.

NEED HELP. Please help me with this.


1. What is the process illustrated above? (the picture)


2. What molecules are released from step one to go to step two?


3. What source of energy starts step one?


4. Where does oxygen go when water is split in step one?


5. What molecule comes from the atmosphere to start the Calvin cycle?


6. What is the ultimate goal of this process?


7. Where do the light reactions occur?


8. Where does the Calvin Cycle occur?

Answer 1

The process illustrated in the diagram is the non light dependent reactions of photosynthesis termed as Calvin Cycle.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA) are produced or released from step one to step two of Calvin cycle.
• The source of energy that helps to start step one are ATP and NADPH, mainly derived from the light dependent reaction.
• The oxygen molecule thus formed by splitting of water is release to the nature as oxygen, which living organisms utilizes in respiration.
• Carbon dioxide comes from the atmosphere to start the process.
• Light reactions occurs in the thylakoid membranes of the plant organelles namely chloroplasts.
• Non-light dependent reaction or Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma chloroplasts.
