New cards

What is the primary function of the Calvin Cycle?

To produce glucose (CHO) from CO2 using ATP and NADPH.

2
New cards

Where does the Calvin Cycle occur?

In the stroma of chloroplasts.

3
New cards

What are the inputs for the Calvin Cycle?

CO2, ATP, and NADPH.

4
New cards

How many carbon atoms are required to produce one glucose molecule in the Calvin Cycle?

Six carbon atoms (from 6 CO2).

5
New cards

What are the products of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

ATP, NADPH, and O2.

6
New cards

What is the role of NADP+ in photosynthesis?

It acts as an electron carrier, being reduced to NADPH.

7
New cards

What is the significance of water (H2O) in the light-dependent reactions?

It is split to provide electrons, producing O2 as a byproduct.
