Question

Select the correct molecule that is the main product of the Calvin cycle.A. GlucoseB. NADPHC. G3P

Answer 1

The Answer is actually G3P

Step-by-step explanation:

Glucose is discussed as a photosynthesis substance mainly for the sake of convenience. In reality, photosynthetic cells generate and transport very little free glucose.

The choice glucose is a common misunderstanding. Glucose is discussed as a Calvin cycle commodity mainly for the sake of convenience.

Answer 2

A. Glucose

Step-by-step explanation:

Calvin cycle is the dark independent phase of photosynthesis

The light-dependent phase captures light from the sun through the chlorophyll and use it to produce energy storage and carrier molecules such as ATP and NADPH. The Energy from the molecules,carbon dioxide and water are used to produce organic compounds such as Glucose.This is done by carbon from the CO2 being added to RuBP(Ribulose biphosphate to give glucose. The overall reaction is:

3 CO2 + 6 NADPH + 5 H2O + 9 ATP → glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) + 2 H+ + 6 NADP+ + 9 ADP + 8 Pi
