Which reaction begins the calvin cycle?

splitting of water

carbon fixation

formation of an "excited" electron

formation of nadph

The reaction that begins the Calvin cycle is carbon fixation.

Explanation:

Calvin cycle is also called light independent reactions since it directly depend on light. Still it is indirectly dependent on light since the nergy carriers ATP and NADPH are produced by the light dependent reactions.the initial step of carbon cycle is converting inorganic carbon to organic form.

This process is called carbon fixation. It takes place inside the stroma where carbon dioxide molecule reacts with RuBP or Ribulose biPhosphate. The reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme RuBisCO.

The carbon dioxide then gets converted to phosphoglyceric acid.

1. the energy lost to disorder metabolism     -entropy

2. related to or possessing motion potential     -kinetic

3. all of the chemical reactions in an organism required for maintenance of the processes of life entropy     -metabolism

4. possible; ability to go into action or perform work kinetic     -potential

5. the study of energy and its transformations thermodynamics     -thermodynamics

her next move would be to use agarose gel electrophoresis to separate the dna molecules of varying length and create a dna fingerprint.
