Answer:

The correct answer is glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P).

Explanation:

The Calvin cycle or the Calvin Benson cycle is part of the photosynthesis process, which occurs in two stages. The first stage takes light energy and produces ATP and NADPH which is used in the Calvin Benson cycle, the second stage of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide and water are turned into organic molecules.

The end product of the Calvin cycle is a 3 carbon sugar which is glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) with the energy provided by end products ( ATP and NADPH) of the first stage. G3P is used to convert into glucose.

Thus, the correct answer is glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P).
