Is energy required to run the Calvin cycle?

Yes


Does the Calvin cycle Requires CO2?

The Calvin Cycle is a light-independent cycle, but it does not require darkness. although it can use light again it does not require it.


Why do plants use this ATP produced by photosynthesis to power the Calvin Cycle where sugars molecules are produced?

ATP is called energy currency of cell , it is required by all processes of cell including Calvin cycle .


Why is ATP important in photosynthesis?

ATP is used in the Calvin cycle in it's phosphorylation role; transferring phosphate groups to Calvin cycle intermediates that then go through the conformational rearrangements which result in the sugar product, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate that leaves the cycle and the reconstitution of oxaloacete, beginning the cycle again.


What does ATP to the Calvin Benson cycle?

ATP adds chemical energy to the Calvin-Benson cycle.


What is different between Krebs cycle and Calvin cycle?

Krebs involves energy. Calvin involves volts.


What does ATP add to the calvin-benson cycle?

ATP adds chemical energy to the Calvin-Benson cycle.


What process of photosynthesis can occur even when there is no light?

The Dark Reactions (a.k.a. The Calvin Cycle) can occur without the light. Sometimes they are also called the Light Independent Reactions for that very reason. Light is required during the light reactions because the energy from light (photon) is required to excite electrons. No such energy source is required for the Calvin Cycle because the energy has already been converted into a chemical form (ATP and NADPH) during the light reactions. The energy from ATP and NADPH is used to "drive" the Calvin Cycle (the accumulation of Carbon atoms from Carbon Dioxide). Carbon Dioxide and Rubulose Biphosphate (RuBp) are combined using the enzyme rubisco. The energy from ATP and NADPH is added (in several steps). The final molecule, gyceraldehye-3-phosphate (G3P) is produced. There is a fairly common misconception that glucose is the final product of the Calvin Cycle; but, it is actually G3P. Notice that none of these reactions (those of the Calvin Cycle) required light. And don't forget, plants don't need light for cellular respiration either.


Does Calvin cycle use energy?

Yes, it certainly does.It uses the energy made in light reaction. In calvin cycle CO2 is reduced to glucose


How does the Calvin cycle differ from the light-dependent reactions?

1. Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma and light- dependent reactions take place in the granum, also light is not required for all the reactions of Calvin cycle.2. Calvin cycle assimilates CO2 to form organic compounds whereas in light reactions photolysis of water leads the formation of energy rich inorganic compounds.


What is a product of the Calvin cycle?

High-energy sugars


Does the Calvin cycle release or absorb energy?

ABSORB
