Question
Chapter 20, Problem 5P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reactions of the Calvin cycle sometimes referred to as the dark reactions and also if they occur only at night or are secret reactions should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Plants need energy as glucose or carbohydrate to survive. During photosynthesis, the plants combine water along with carbon dioxide and use sunlight to form carbohydrates. There are two phases of photosynthesis: the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions or dark reactions.

Are these correct? And what category would the last reaction belong to and why? Thank you!
The reversible reaction shown here is part of the Calvin cycle, a pathway in photosynthetic organisms. Which glycolytic reaction does this reaction resemble and what type of enzyme catalyzes it?
Why are the reactions of the Calvin cycle sometimes referred to as the dark reactions? Do they take place only at night or are they grim, secret reactions?

- Balance the reactions. A hint is provided to help you decide if the reaction will proceed as written, ie from left to right. Do not leave any fractions. 1. a) Balance Al₂O3 → Al + 0₂ b) What type of reaction is this? c) Is this a redox rx, yes / no ? d) The reaction will go from left to right, yes / no ? (hint: O₂ is very reactive) 2. a) Balance HNO3 + AI → b) What type of reaction is this? c) Is this a redox rx, yes / no ? d) The reaction will go from left to right, yes / no ?
