Flashcards
Calvin Cycle Role
Calvin Cycle Role
The Calvin cycle uses carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air to produce sugars, which the plant can use for energy and building blocks.
Energy Source for Calvin Cycle
Energy Source for Calvin Cycle
The energy for the Calvin cycle is supplied by compounds (ATP and NADPH) that are produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
Plant Use of Calvin Cycle Sugars
Plant Use of Calvin Cycle Sugars
Plants use the energy-rich sugars produced during the Calvin cycle to fuel their metabolic processes, growth, and development.
