Question

What do plants do with the high-energy sugar molecules they produce during the calvin cycle

Answer 1

The final product of the Calvin cycle is glucose, this energy-rich substance can have several uses for the plant, on the one hand its energy can be used to carry out processes such as cell multiplication and tissue repair. Also, when linked with other molecules of the same type, it forms starches and sucrose that serve to store energy, for example, in tubers and fruits. This extra glucose is used during the cold or dry months when it is more difficult for plants to make new glucose for their needs.

Answer 2

During the Calvin cycle, plants use the energy that ATP and NADPH contain to build high-energy compounds that can be stored for a long time. The Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions to produce high-energy sugars. ... The twelve 3-carbon molecules are then converted into higher-energy forms.
