If a plant absorbs a substance that inhibits the Calvin cycle, the light reactions would still occur, as they are independent of the Calvin cycle. However, the products of the light reactions, such as ATP and NADPH, would not be utilized effectively because the Calvin cycle relies on these molecules to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. Consequently, while the light reactions would produce energy, the overall process of photosynthesis would be impaired, leading to reduced glucose production and potential negative effects on the plant's growth and energy supply.
The Calvin cycle absorbs energy in the form of ATP and NADPH in order to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
If a plant absorbs a substance that readily reacts with carbon dioxide in the stroma, the dark reactions (Calvin cycle) would be most likely to be disrupted. This is because the dark reactions rely on the availability of carbon dioxide to fix carbon into organic molecules. A decrease in CO2 availability would lead to reduced production of glucose and other carbohydrates, ultimately affecting the plant's energy supply and growth. Additionally, this could result in an accumulation of products that inhibit other metabolic processes.
Endothermic reactions absorb energy from the environment. These reactions typically have a positive enthalpy change and require an input of heat or energy to proceed. Examples include the reaction between citric acid and baking soda in a cold pack.
Exergonic vs. Endergonic reactions: exergonic release more energy than they absorb. Endergonic reactions absorb more energy than they release.Exergonic reactions release energy while endergonic reactions absorb energy.

Yes, chemical reactions can absorb energy. This can occur in endothermic reactions, where energy is required for the reaction to proceed. Examples include the reaction of baking soda and vinegar, which absorbs heat energy.
A substance which absorb a great quantity of water.

Endothermic reactions absorb heat from the surroundings, causing a decrease in temperature. In contrast, exothermic reactions release heat into the surroundings, leading to an increase in temperature. Endothermic reactions have a positive enthalpy change, while exothermic reactions have a negative enthalpy change.
Endothermic Reactions
Chemical reactions release or absorb heat based on whether they release or require energy to break or form bonds between atoms. Reactions that release heat are exothermic, as they release energy, while reactions that absorb heat are endothermic, as they require energy input.
