ATP and NADPH2 are used to reduce CO2 to carbohydrates, fixing the energy of light (used to produce the ATP and NADPH2 in the light reactions) into a chemical form that then the plant, and the animals eating the plant, can use. There are several intermediary molecules used in the process, actually regenerating the first one used in the process (Ribulose-1,5-biphosphate),hence the "cycle" part in the name.

How is ATP utilized in the Calvin cycle to facilitate the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose?

ATP is used in the Calvin cycle to provide energy for the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose. This energy is needed to drive the chemical reactions that transform carbon dioxide molecules into glucose molecules.


What is a product of the light reactions of photosynthesis that are utilized in the Calvin cycle?

The product of the light reactions of photosynthesis that is utilized in the Calvin cycle is ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). These two molecules provide the energy and reducing power necessary for the Calvin cycle to convert carbon dioxide into sugars.


Is carbon carbohydrate?

No carbon is not a carbohydrate, but a carbohydrate consists of carbon. It also is made up of hydrogen and oxygen.


The Calvin cycle begins when CO2 combines with a five-carbon carbohydrate called what?

The Calvin cycle begins when CO2 combines with a five-carbon carbohydrate called ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO).


Is carbon nanotubes a type of paper?

No. Paper is cellulose, a carbohydrate usually derived from plant material. Carbon nanotubes are a variant of pure carbon that are used in a variety of high-strength materials.


Is carbon dioxide is reduced during the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis?

yes, it is. <- Trolololol. CO2 is first fixated by adding CO2 to Organic Compounds (external or Auto made) to make it RuBP. The Reduction part is the Use of ATP and NADPH from noncyclic part of photophosphorylation, to energize CO2-> carbohydrate.


What material comes in to the chloroplast that is used in the Calvin cycle?

The material that comes into the chloroplast for use in the Calvin cycle is carbon dioxide (CO2) and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) from the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. These materials are used in the Calvin cycle to produce glucose.


Is carbon a polysaccharide?

No. Carbon is an element, not a carbohydrate.


During photosynthesis when is carbon dioxide utilized?

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide with water to make glucose. The carbon atoms are the most important in this exchange, as the oxygen, while used, is a little excessive, and extra is left over once the process is complete.


Where does the Carbon for the Calvin Cycle come from what substance?

The source of carbon for the Calvin cycle is carbon dioxide.


Does carbon fixation occur in the Calvin cycle?

Yes, carbon fixation occurs in the Calvin cycle.


What molecule is recycled between the Calvin cycle and the light dependent reactions during photosynthesis?

The molecule recycled between the Calvin cycle and the light-dependent reactions is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is produced in the light-dependent reactions and then utilized in the Calvin cycle to provide energy for the synthesis of sugars.
