Question

multiple choice question
which of the following represent the phases of the calvin cycle?
(1) carbon fixation; (2) reduction; (3) carbohydrate production
(1) light - dependent reactions; (2) light - independent reactions
(1) carbon fixation; (2) reduction and carbohydrate production; (3) regeneration of ribulose bisphosphate
(1) carbon fixation; (2) atp investment; (3) glucose polymerization; (4) starch storage

Explanation:

The Calvin cycle has three main phases: carbon fixation where carbon - dioxide is incorporated into an organic molecule, reduction and carbohydrate production where energy - rich molecules are used to form carbohydrates, and regeneration of ribulose bisphosphate which allows the cycle to continue.

Answer:

O (1) carbon fixation; (2) reduction and carbohydrate production; (3) regeneration of ribulose bisphosphate
