Accepted Answer

Hi everyone. Let's look at our next question here. It says the Calvin cycle which utilizes blank from the light reaction to generate glucose is carried out in the blank of the chloroplast. Well, let's think about our process of accountant cycle. Um The product from the light reaction that is used by the Calvin cycle in its generation of glucose. As we can recall are two fold A. T. P. And N. A. D. P. H. Both of these are generated by those light reactions and they are used to provide the energy to synthesize glucose from the carbon dioxide in the Calvin cycle. The Calvin cycle reactions are carried out in the strom A. Of the chloroplast. And just to recall, that's troma is we call here's our chloroplast and its inner membrane and we've got all the hillock oid Coid stacked up here and the cloud and cycle takes place in this space in this troma. This is our inner membrane of the chloroplasts. And then of course there'll be an outer membrane around it that I'll just draw partially outer membrane Kind of a 3fold structure here with the filling on the inside than an inner membrane and an outer membrane. So when we look at our answer choices, we're looking for utilizing A T. P. And A D. P. H. As the first blank and stroh MMA as the second. So we'll just label that there. And as we look through our answer choices, we see that choice B has A. T. P. And N. A. D. P. H. And so do choices C. And D. So we can rule out choice A. It has A D. P. And N. A. D. P. Plus. Well, those are the by products of the Calvin cycle. So the Calvin cycle uses A D. P. And A D. P. H. And then produces A D. P. And N A. D. P. P. Plus. So that is not a correct answer. So now looking at B. C. And D. Which have the correct answer for the first blank, we know that the Calvin cycle is carried out in this troma. So we're gonna look for the one that has the correct second word and that would be choice D. So choice D. Is going to be our answer. But we'll just look at B and C. Here to see why they're not correct. B has a thigh like Oid. Um The Polaroids are these guys here inside the little stacks, inside the chloroplasts. And it's the light reactions that take place in the silicone membrane, Those electron transport chains where you have the light energy absorbed electrons passed down the chains that's occurring inside that silicone membrane with the proton gradient being set up a cross between this troma and the lumen or that the space inside the silo coid. So recorded by the light reactions take place not the Calvin cycle. So B is not our answer. And finally, choice C. Has sto mata as the second choice. Well, the stigmata are those tiny little openings and the leaves that allow gas exchange water to evaporate and C. 02 to enter. And there. I think the question is trying to fool you with the similarity in the names tomato and stone and Strama, since this tomato are not in the chloroplasts at all, So Choice C. Is not correct. So the Calvin cycle, which utilizes Choice D A T. P and N A D. P. H. From the light reaction to generate glucose, is carried out in the strom A of the chloroplast. See you in the next video.
