Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which phase of photosynthesis is glucose synthesized?
Correct Answer: Calvin cycle
  • Step 1: Understand that photosynthesis has two main phases: the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).
  • Step 2: Know that the light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and produce energy (ATP and NADPH).
  • Step 3: Learn that the Calvin cycle is the light-independent reaction that takes place in the stroma of chloroplasts.
  • Step 4: Recognize that during the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide is fixed and converted into glucose using the energy from ATP and NADPH.
