What happens most of the G3P molecules in the last step of the dark reactions (Calvin cycle)?

• They are used to make glucose.

• They are reshuffled to make CO₂ by adding ATP.

• They exit the cycle.

• They are reshuffled to make RuBP by adding ATP.

In green plants, the primary function of the Calvin cycle is to

• Use ATP to release carbon
• Split water to release oxygen.
• Construct simple sugars from carbon dioxide.
• Use NADPH to release carbon
