Which is associated with the Calvin cycle?
Correct answer: C. Carbon dioxide fixation
- A. ATP production
- B. Oxygen production
- C. Carbon dioxide fixation
- D. Carbon dioxide production
Explanation
The Calvin cycle, also known as the light-independent reactions, takes place in the stroma of chloroplasts and involves the fixation of carbon dioxide into organic molecules. This process is crucial for synthesizing carbohydrates and does not produce ATP or oxygen, which are products of the light-dependent reactions. Therefore, carbon dioxide fixation is the key process associated with the Calvin cycle.

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.
