Chapter 7.3, Problem 1CYL

Summary Introduction

To describe:

The function of the Calvin cycle and its location of occurrence.

Introduction:

The Calvin cycle is a biological process which involves a series of a biochemical reaction that takes place in the chloroplast of leaves during photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is an important process involves the formation of glucose from carbon-dioxide.

Summary Introduction

To list:

The three stages involved in the Calvin cycle including molecules that enter cycle and formed at each stage.

Introduction:

Calvin cycle is also termed as dark reaction or light-independent reaction. It utilizes the products of light reaction such as ATP and NADPH for the formation of carbohydrate from carbon-dioxide.

Summary Introduction

To describe:

The fate of simple sugar generated by the Calvin cycle.

Introduction:

Photosynthesis is defined as the process of production of food by plants. Plants synthesize their food in the presence of sunlight, air, water and carbon dioxide. The food is stored in the leaves of plants.
