What is the function of the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis?
  1. Absorbing light energy
  2. Adding CO₂ to RuBP
  3. Synthesis of ATP
  4. Converting PGA to sugar

Solution

The Calvin cycle is a crucial step in photosynthesis that takes place in the stroma of chloroplasts. It converts the 3-carbon PGA to sugar using ATP and NADPH synthesized in the light reaction.
