Question
what represents the reactant of the calvin cycle? *
standard addressed:
sugars
b
c
a
Identify the Calvin cycle
The diagram illustrates photosynthesis inside a chloroplast. The circular pathway on the right represents the Calvin cycle, which produces sugars.
Analyze the inputs
Using the Calvin Cycle Reactants knowledge point
An arrow labeled C enters the Calvin cycle from outside the chloroplast, representing carbon dioxide (\(\text{CO}_2\)), which is the primary carbon reactant.
Identify other labels
Label A points to light entering the thylakoid membrane. Label B points to water (\(\text{H}_2\text{O}\)) entering the light-dependent reactions.
Determine the correct option
Since C represents carbon dioxide entering the Calvin cycle, C is the correct reactant.
