The stage of photosynthesis that actually produces sugar is_.
Correct answer: A. The Calvin cycle
- A. The Calvin cycle
- B. Photosystem I
- C. Photosystem II
- D. The light reaction
Explanation
The Calvin cycle is a process that plants and algae use to turn carbon dioxide from the air into sugar, it is a light independent process. In the Calvin cycle, carbon atoms are fixed (incorporated into organic molecules) and used to build three-carbon sugars. This process is fueled by, and dependent on, ATP and NADPH from the light reactions. G3P formed during it is basically a sugar molecule
