Part B – Inputs and outputs of the Calvin cycleFrom the following choices, identify those that are the inputs and outputs of the Calvin cycle.Drag each item to the appropriate bin. If the item is not an input to or an output from the Calvin cycle, drag it to the “not input or output” bin.
Input:ATP, NADPH, CO2Output:ADP, NADP+, G3Pnot input or output:light, glucose, O2In the Calvin cycle, the energy outputs from the light reactions (ATP and NADPH) are used to power the conversion of CO2 into the sugar G3P. As ATP and NADPH are used, they produce ADP and NADP+, respectively, which are returned to the light reactions so that more ATP and NADPH can be formed.
Inputs of the Calvin cycle:
– CO2
– ATP
– NADPH
Outputs of the Calvin cycle:
– G3P (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate)
– ADP
– NADP+
Not input or output:
– Oxygen (O2): Not involved in the Calvin cycle and is actually a byproduct of photosynthesis occurring in the thylakoid membranes.
– Sunlight: Used in the light-dependent reactions to produce ATP and NADPH, which are then used as inputs in the Calvin cycle.
– Water (H2O): Also not directly involved in the Calvin cycle, but is split in the thylakoid membranes during the light-dependent reactions to release oxygen.
