What is the primary function of the Calvin cycle?
Back
The primary function of the Calvin cycle is to convert carbon dioxide into glucose using ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions.

What is G3P and its significance in photosynthesis?
Back
G3P (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate) is a three-carbon sugar produced in the Calvin cycle; it is a precursor for glucose and other carbohydrates.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How many ATP and NADPH are required to produce one G3P molecule in the Calvin cycle?
Back
To produce one G3P molecule, 9 ATP and 6 NADPH are required.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
Back
Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs light energy, primarily in the blue and red wavelengths, and plays a crucial role in converting light energy into chemical energy.
