Calvin Cycle & Types of Photosynthesis

The Calvin Cycle takes place in the:

• Stroma

• Thylakoid

• Grana

• Stomata

The enzyme responsible for Carbon Fixation in C3 Photosynthesis is

• RuBisCo
• PEP Carboxylase
• Hexokinase
• Pyruvate DeHydrogenase

The enzyme responsible for Carbon Fixation in C4 Photosynthesis is

• RuBisCo
• PEP Carboxylase
• Hexokinase
• Pyruvate DeHydrogenase

NGSS.HS-LS2-5

The first molecule formed after CO₂ is added to the Calvin Cycle is:

• RuBP
• G3P
• 3-PG
• G3P

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-6

The molecule that comes out of the Calvin Cycle to produce glucose, and polymers like cellulose is:

• RuBP
• GP3
• 3-PG
• G3P

NGSS.HS-LS1-6

In the Calvin Cycle, carbohydrate molecules are:

• Reduced
• Oxidized

The loss of H₂O through stomata is referred to as:

• Transpiration
• Respiration
• Evaporation
• Photorespiration

NGSS.MS-LS2-1

The main advantage of C4 Photosynthesis is the ability to avoid:

• Transpiration
• Photorespiration
• Photosynthesis
• Signal Transduction

The main advantage of CAM Photosynthesis is the ability to avoid:

• Transpiration
• Photorespiration
• Photosynthesis
• Signal Transduction

In CAM Photosynthesis CO₂ is stored as:

• Malate
• RuBP
• Pyruvate
• G3P
