The Calvin cycle begins when carbon dioxide reacts with?

Correct answer: D. RuBP

  • A. NADP
  • B. ADP
  • C. FADH
  • D. RuBP

Explanation

The Calvin cycle reactions fix CO2 from the environment into carbohydrate molecules. Enzyme, Rubisco catalyzes this fixation reaction by reacting CO2 with Rubisco.OPTION A: NADP is the reducing agent produced by the light reaction during photosynthesis and is consumed in the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis.OPTION B: Calvin cycle is fueled by ATP; hence, ADP has no role in the Calvin cycle.OPTION C: FADH has no role in the Calvin cycle.OPTION D: Enzyme, Rubisco, catalyzes this fixation reaction by reacting CO2 with Rubisco.
