What events occur during the Calvin cycle?
The Calvin Cycle has 3 series of reactions. They are Carbon Dioxide fixation, Carbon dioxide reduction, and regeneration of the first substrate RuBP ( ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate). It also produces ATP. Glucose is its outcome which is G3P (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate).
What is the stage of photosynthesis called in which plants use the energy that ATP and NADPH contain to build high energy sugars?
This is called the Calvin cycle (aka Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle or reductive pentose phosphate cycle).
What is function and structure of stroma?
The stroma of a plant is the region outside of the thylakoid space. This serves two functions in the both the light-dependent and light-independent (Calvin cycle) reactions. In the light-dependent reactions, the H+ ions that build up within the thylakoid begin to form a concentration gradient between the thylakoid and the stroma. As a result, the H+ ions need to diffuse into the stroma. In order to do this, the ions must travel through an enzyme known as ATP synthase. Once it does, the movement of H+ ions through ATP synthase into the stroma provides energy for ADP to become ATP. The ATP formed is an energy source to power the Calvin cycle. Now, the light-independent (Calvin cycle) reactions occur in the stroma.
Chains of enzyme reactions that break down or build molecules are called pathways?
atp
What type of macromolecule is produced by plants during photosynthesis?
Carbohydrates

What is made during the light-indepentdent reactions of photosynthesis?
Glucose, a sugar, is the ultimate product from the light independent reactions.The light-independent reaction includes the Calvin Cycle. In this cycle 3 carbon dioxide molecules are used to build one molecule of Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (C3H7O6P, also abbreviated as G3P). Two molecules of G3P are used to make monosacarides like glucose, a six carbon ring of sugar.Note: This happens whether or not there is light but it uses the energy that was obtained from the light reactions.
What is the name of all the chemical energy transformations that occur within a cell?
Metabolism.The reactions that build larger molecules from smaller ones (syntheses) are collectively called anabolism, and breakdown reactions constitute catabolism. There are also reactions that do not belong to either group, for example the conversion of glucose into glucose-6-phosphate.
What are Metabolic reactions that build body structures?
Anabolic reactions.
What is the correct summary of the Calvin Cycle?
It uses the energy that ATP and NADPH contain to build high energy compounds. It uses ATP and NADPH from light-dependent reactions to produce high energy sugars.
Reactions in which small molecules are put together to build larger ones?
It is a part of combination reactions. Two or more elements or compound react to form a largermolecule.Example:-NH3 + H2O -------> NH4OHCaO + CO2 ---------> CaCO3
What is Calvin system?
The Calvin system, also known as the Calvin cycle or C3 cycle, is a series of chemical reactions that occur in the chloroplasts of plants during photosynthesis. It converts carbon dioxide into glucose, a simple sugar molecule that serves as an energy source for the plant. The Calvin system is named after Melvin Calvin, the scientist who elucidated its mechanism in the 1950s.
The overall purpose of the Calvin cycle is to?
build organic molecules
Do catabolic reactions use energy to synthesize large molecules?
No, anabolic reactions build larger molecules from smaller molecules.
Does glucose build muscles?
no, because glucose is a form of sugar, and sugar is energy, and energy is pretty much fat.
