Which of the following are products of the Calvin cycle that are then used as reactants in the light reactions?
CO2
Sugar
NADP+
O2
ATP
NADPH
ADP
.
Which two products of the light-dependent reactions are used up in the Calvin cycle?
Rubisco adds a CO2 molecule to a sugar that contains _______ carbons. The reaction product immediately splits into two sugars that each contain _______ carbons.
O2 can compete with CO2 for a place in the rubisco active site. As a consequenceO2 is incorporated into RuBP instead of CO2. Why might this be a disadvantage?
How many water molecules have to be split as part of the light reactions to produce
enough ATP and NADPH for the Calvin cycle to produce one molecule of
glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
(G3P)?
