Summary Introduction
Introduction: The Calvin-Benson cycle is also called as light-independent reactions. The energy for this cycle is not taken by sunlight instead the energy is gained from NADPH and ATP. As a result of this reaction, the sugar molecules are formed at the stroma of the chloroplast. The end product of this reaction is 2 glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate molecules, 3 ATP and 2 NADP+ molecules.

Nitrogen, a mineral, is an important part of all living cells. All organisms need nitrogen in order to grow and repair. Although nitrogen exists in its elemental form in the atmosphere, it cannot be directly used by plants. 7 Where else can plants obtain their nitrogen from? Plants make their own nitrogen. B Plants get it from animals. Plants get it from the soil. D Plants have special structures to break down atmospheric nitrogen. v3.7.63.140.4 | 6763e9417a3dbb80fa0f87b2 | Dec 19, 2024 | 3:07 PM | 84126 | en_8arrow_forward
