Calvin cycle is also named as:
Correct answer: D. All of these
- A. C3 pathway
- B. Sugar synthesis phase
- C. Dark reactions
- D. All of these
Explanation
Calvin Cycle is also named as C3 pathway because the product of initial carbon fixation is a three carbon compound. It is also called sugar synthesis phase because it is that phase of photosynthesis in which sugar is synthesized using ATP and NADPH of light reaction. It is also called dark reaction because these reactions do not require light directly. So correct option is D i.e., all of these.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
