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.
