Which among the following statements is INCORRECT? The first event in the Calvin cycle is the attachment of carbon dioxide to the five-carbon RuBP molecule, which forms a six-carbon molecule that breaks down into two 3PG molecules. The first event in the Calvin cycle is the attachment of carbon dioxide to the five-carbon RuBP molecule, which is a reaction assisted by large quantities of RuBP carboxylase enzyme. The first event in the Calvin cycle is the attachment of carbon dioxide to the five-carbon RuBP molecule, which decreases cell carbon dioxide levels, which increases the diffusion gradient. The first event in the Calvin cycle is the attachment of carbon dioxide to the five-carbon RuBP molecule, which immediately becomes a six-carbon sugar that is the base for starch, sucrose, cellulose, etc.

The high energy molecules that provide the energy to run the reactions of the Calvin cycle are ______________ and ________________. During the first step in the Calvin cycle, a molecule of carbon dioxide gas binds to a 5-carbon molecule called Ribulose 1,5-biphosphate (RuBP). This step of the Calvin cycle is called: ___________________________. After three carbon dioxide molecules have been fixed to three RuBP and the Calvin cycle completes one turn, the organic molecule that is produced is _______________________. Once two of the molecules from the previous blank have been produced, they can combine to make a single six-carbon __________________________ molecule.

Which of the following would still be possible in a plant with nonfunctional mitochondria in the dark? Select all that apply.   Krebs cycle   Calvin cycle   Oxidative phosphorylation   Cyclic photophosphorylation   Glycolysis   Noncyclic photophosphorylation

At the end of the calvin cycle, this molecule is regenergated: Select one: a. a five carbon molecule, ribulose bis-phosphate b. a six carbon molecule, glucose c. a polymer, cellulose d. a three carbon molecule, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate e. a four carbon molecule, malate

Explain why it takes six Calvin cycles to produce a glucose molecule.

In the Calvin cycle, what is the name of the enzyme that attaches a molecule of carbon dioxide to the 5-carbon molecule called ribulose bisphosphate?       Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate   Ribulose bisphosphate oxygenase   Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase, also known as RuBisCO   3-PGA carboxylase

The Calvin cycle reactions are sometimes called the “lightindependent reactions” or “dark reactions” to contrast them with the light (or light-dependent) reactions. Can the Calvin cycle be sustained in algae that are kept in total darkness for several days? Why or why not

What single molecule is important in all of the following processes? : electron donor to FNR, can participate in the formation of plastohydroquinone (PQH2), contributes to regulation of Calvin cycle enzymes

In photosynthesis, which of the following is NOT true about the light-dependent (“light”) reaction? In photosynthesis, which of the following is NOT true about the light-dependent (“light”) reaction? Glucose is synthesized from CO2 and water during the light-dependent reaction The light-dependent reaction converts light energy to chemical energy stored in ATP  The light-dependent reaction (non-cyclic) captures electrons in NADPH  Light-excited electrons in chlorophyll provide the energy for ATP production None of the other four answers (All are true of the light-dependent reaction)
