The process in which carbon from CO2 is incorporated into organic molecules:
Correct answer: B. Calvin cycle
- A. Glycolysis
- B. Calvin cycle
- C. Krebs cycle
- D. Light dependent reactions
Explanation
The Calvin cycle, also known as the Calvin-Benson cycle, is a series of biochemical reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts during the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis. It is named after Melvin Calvin, who played a key role in elucidating its pathway. The Calvin cycle is crucial for the synthesis of carbohydrates, such as glucose, from carbon dioxide and water, using the chemical energy stored in ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions.

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.
