Question

from the following choices, identify those that are the inputs and outputs of the calvin cycle. drag each item to the appropriate bin. if the item is not an input to or an output from the calvin cycle, drag it to the
ot input or output\ bin. view available hint(s)

Explanation:

The Calvin cycle is part of photosynthesis. Its inputs are \(CO_2\), ATP, and NADPH. ATP is converted to ADP and phosphate (not shown here as a separate item in the given choices), and NADPH is converted to \(NADP^+\) (not an input). The main output is G3P (glyceraldehyde - 3 - phosphate), which can be used to make glucose (but glucose is not a direct output of the Calvin cycle in terms of the basic inputs - outputs of the cycle's reactions). \(O_2\) and light are not part of the Calvin cycle (\(O_2\) is a product of the light - dependent reactions, and light is used in the light - dependent reactions).

Answer:

• Input: \(CO_2\), ATP, NADPH
• Output: G3P
• Not input or output: glucose, \(O_2\), light, \(NADP^+\), ADP
