In the second phase of photosynthesis, known as the Calvin cycle, what is the primary process that occurs?
A
Fixation of carbon dioxide into organic molecules
B
Absorption of light by chlorophyll
C
Splitting of water molecules to release oxygen
D
Conversion of light energy into chemical energy
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the Calvin cycle is part of photosynthesis, specifically the light-independent reactions.
Recognize that the Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts and does not directly require light.
Identify the main purpose of the Calvin cycle: to convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose.
Learn that the Calvin cycle involves the fixation of carbon dioxide into organic molecules, primarily through the enzyme RuBisCO.
Note that the Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions to drive the synthesis of glucose.
