Why is the Calvin benson cycle sometimes called the carbon fixation cycle?

Photosynthesis starts out using the energy from sunlight to get things started, but it ends with the dark reactions, which don't need sunshine to complete sugar production. In the Calvin cycle, ATP and NADPH from the light reactions are used to produce sugars.


How the Calvin cycle is a bridge between carbon in the atmosphere and carbon based molecules in the food you eat?

The Calvin cycle is a part of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is converted into glucose, a carbon-based molecule. This glucose, along with other carbohydrates produced in the Calvin cycle, serves as the main energy source for plants. When you eat plants or plant-based foods, you consume these carbon-based molecules, which are then used by your body for energy and building blocks in cellular processes.


What are the end products of light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis?

Oxygen, Water, ATP, and NADPH are products of the light reactions in photosynthesis. The Calvin Cycle is what produces the products: Carbon dioxide, Sugar, NADP+, and ATP + phosphate. Dont let that trick ya!


Is glucose produced by plants from photosynthesis?

Glucose actually isn't really formed in the Calvin Cycle. The product of the cycle is glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. This might look familiar - it is. This is the intermediate in glycolysis after the 6 carbon sugar splits into 3 carbon chunks. After the Calvin Cycle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate can be used directly as an immediate source of energy, or it can be modefied to become glucose (and then possibly paired to form sucrose for transport in the plant and then joined even more to make starch for storage in roots).


What is the first stable product of photosynthesis?

The equation for photosynthesis is below. 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy >>> C6H12O6 + 6O2 So to answer your question, the main product in photosynthesis is a carbohydrate.

What are the products of the Calvin cycle and how are they usd?

The only product of the Calvin Cycle is 1 molecule of glucose every two turns. It is used to begin the process of Cellular respiration through Glycolysis and is basically used for food to create ATP.


In what process is carbon dioxide and water used to make food?

Calvin Cycle


How The Calvin Cycle Is A Bridge Carbon In The Atmosphere And Carbon Based Molecules In The Food You Eat?

The Calvin cycle is a carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere and the energy carried by ATP and NADPH to make simple sugars.


What occurs during the cslvin cycle?

This is a plant's 'dark reaction' cycle, where carbond dioxide is fixed to form carbon. Rather than produce energy (ATP) like the light reactions of photosynthesis, this requires ATP and the product is sugar, such as glyceraldehyde or glucose. Basically makes the plants food :) p.s. I believe you meant 'calvin cycle' ;)


Is wheat a final product?

Wheat can be considered both a raw agricultural product and a final product, depending on the context. In its unprocessed form, wheat is a raw ingredient used for various food products such as flour, bread, and pasta. However, when wheat is processed into these food items, it becomes a final product ready for consumption. Thus, it serves as a foundational crop that transforms into various final products.

Does chlorophyll trap light energy to make food?

Yes, chlorophyll does "harvest light," but it doesn't make glucose; the Calvin Cycle does that.


WHAT IS BETWEEN RECIPE AND FOOD?

A RECIPE is a list of ingredients, and a procedure, to produce as a final product, a certain dish of FOOD.

How Do Plants use photosynthesis to make teir own food?

They take H2o and Co2 and then through the Calvin cycle, and the light cycle it produces PGAL. the o2 is oxidized to H2o, and the co2 is reduced to PGAL.

What best represents the relationships between the light reactions and the Calvin cycle?

Difference:The Calvin cycle converts carbon dioxide to carbohydrate.CO2 --------> (CH2O)This process requires an energy source and a hydrogen source, as well as carbon dioxide.The energy source is ATP. The hydrogen source is NADPH.Both of these substances are produced by the light-dependent reactions.For more details search this site for "calvin cycle", "light dependent" and "light independent".RELATIONSHIP:The light reactions and the Calvin cycle are both stages of photosynthesis. The light reactions (photosystems) produce NADPH, ATP, and Oxygen gas. The oxygen is released as a waste product but the NADPH and ATP enter the Calvin cycle, which produces a simple sugar moleculeSee related link and questions
