Question

the calvin cycle and the krebs cycle are referred to as cycles of chemical reactions because they
occur inside organelles.
start over continually.
are part of the carbon cycle.
allow energy to flow in ecosystems.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Calvin cycle (in photosynthesis) and the Krebs cycle (in cellular respiration) are cyclic. In the Calvin cycle, RuBP (ribulose - bisphosphate) is regenerated to start the cycle again. In the Krebs cycle, oxaloacetate is regenerated. So, they start over continually.

  • Occurring inside organelles (chloroplasts for Calvin cycle and mitochondria for Krebs cycle) is a location - related fact, not the reason for being called cycles.
  • While they are part of the carbon cycle (the Calvin cycle fixes \(CO_2\) and the Krebs cycle releases \(CO_2\)), this is not the reason for the 'cycle' name.
  • All metabolic pathways are related to energy flow in ecosystems, but this is not the specific reason for the 'cycle' moniker.

Answer:

start over continually.
