Consider the given molecules.I.NADPHII. ATPIII. CO2In the process of photosynthesis, these molecules are used as inputs in the:
Correct answer: B. Calvin cycle
- A. Krebs cycle
- B. Calvin cycle
- C. Cyclic electron flow
- D. Non-cyclic electron flow
Explanation
The Calvin cycle is integral to the process of photosynthesis. It occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts and is sometimes referred to as the light-independent reactions or the dark reactions. This cycle uses ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions, along with CO2 from the atmosphere, to synthesize glucose.

About Plant Nutrition and Transport
Plants require macronutrients and micronutrients for growth, and mineral deficiencies produce recognizable symptoms. Transport involves water and minerals through xylem by transpiration pull, cohesion and adhesion, while phloem translocates sugars from sources to sinks. Root pressure and transpiration are distinct mechanisms.
