Which molecules are used to produce glucose during the calvin cycle?

A. ADP and NADP+

B. ATP and NADPH

C. Chlorophyll and Oxygen

D. Carbon Dioxide and Water

B. ATP & NADPH

Explanation:

fruits and vegetables are full of energy. Energy in the form of glucose. The energy from sunlight is briefly held in NADPH and ATP, which is needed to drive the formation of sugars such as glucose.

As Melvin Calvin discovered, carbon fixation is the first step of a cycle. The Calvin cycle transfers energy in small, controlled steps. Each step pushes molecules uphill in terms of energy content. Recall that in the electron transport chain, excited electrons lose energy to NADPH and ATP. In the Calvin cycle, NADPH and ATP formed in the light reactions lose their stored chemical energy to build glucose.
