(i) Describe a biological process by which carbon is removed from the atmosphere and converted to organic molecules (1 point for a correct description,
The cycle begins with the incorporation of CO2 into organic molecules, a process known as carbon fixation • The fixed carbon is reduced with electrons
B) produce organic molecules from inorganic molecules C) eat other organisms that use light energy to make food molecules D) include only the green plants
In the stroma, the Calvin cycle reactions use the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH to combine carbon dioxide from the air with organic molecules to form new
into organic molecules already present in the chloroplast This initial incorporation of carbon into organic compounds is known as carbon fixation
