What happens to NADPH and ATP after they are used in the Calvin Cycle?

• they recycle back to the light reactions
• they are used to make G3P

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

• Use ATP to release carbon

• Split water to release oxygen.

• Construct sugar from carbon dioxide.

• Use NADPH to release carbon

To bring in nonliving carbon (CO2) and use it to make organic compounds is a process called _______________.

• carbon fixation

• cellular respiration

• catabolic reactions

• mitosis
