Question

use the drop-down menus to complete the statements about photosynthesis and cellular respiration. glucose molecules are a product of drop-down menu during drop-down menu. after heterotrophs ingest food, glucose mo drop-down menu in drop-down menu. the options in the first drop-down menu are: the light reaction, the calvin cycle, the krebs cycle, glycolysis, the electron transfer system

Explanation:

To determine the correct process for glucose production:

1. Photosynthesis vs. Respiration: Photosynthesis produces glucose, while cellular respiration breaks it down.
2. Process Details:

• The light reaction (photosynthesis) produces ATP/NADPH, not glucose.
• The Calvin cycle (light - independent stage of photosynthesis) uses CO₂, ATP, and NADPH to synthesize glucose.
• The Krebs cycle (cellular respiration) breaks down acetyl - CoA, not produce glucose.
• Glycolysis (cellular respiration) breaks down glucose, not produce it.
• The electron transfer system (cellular respiration) generates ATP, not glucose.

So, glucose is a product of the Calvin cycle.

Answer:

the Calvin cycle
