Question
The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, also called the Calvin cycle, use and produce a variety of molecules. Sort the molecules below into three categories, molecules brought in and used in the Calvin cycle, molecules produced during the Calvin cycle that leave the cycle, and molecules made in the cytoplasm from the products of the Calvin cycle.
*energy-carrier molecules that have lost some energy
*molecules carrying energy from the light-dependent reactions
*carbon dioxoide from the environment
*energy-rich 3 carbon molecules
*organic molecules such as glucose
Explanation / Answer
molecules brought in and used in the Calvin cycle:- ATP, NADPH, CO2, H2O,
molecules produced during the Calvin cycle that leave the cycle:- ENERGY RICH 3CARBON MOLECULES LIKE G3P, GLUCOSE
molecules made in the cytoplasm from the products of the Calvin cycle:- one of the g3p molecule leaves the calvin cycle, goes to cytoplasm to form other products needed by the plant.; products of citric acid cycle
