The calvin cycle begins when carbon dioxide reacts with?
Correct answer: D. RuBP
- A. NAD
- B. ADP
- C. FADH
- D. RuBP
Explanation
The calvin cycle reactions fixes CO2 from the environment into carbohydrate molecules. Enzyme, Rubisco catalyze this fixation reaction by reacting CO2 with Rubisco.OPTION A: NADP is the reducing agent produced by light reaction during photosynthesis and is consumed in the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis.OPTION B: Calvin cycle is fueled by ATP, Hence ADP has so role in calvin cycle.OPTION C: FADH has no role in calvin cycle.OPTION D: Enzyme, Rubisco catalyze this fixation reaction by reacting CO2 with Rubisco.

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.
