MCQ
The ATP and NADPH synthesized in the light reaction are used in:
  • A. Calvin cycle
  • B. Glycolysis
  • C. Krebs cycle
  • D. Photorespiration
✅ Correct Answer: A
These energy carriers fuel the reduction of CO₂ in the Calvin cycle.
MCQ
Why is RuBP considered the “CO₂ acceptor”?
  • A. Because it contains 6 carbons
  • B. Because it binds with oxygen
  • C. Because it forms when ATP is hydrolyzed
  • D. Because it reacts directly with CO₂
✅ Correct Answer: D
RuBP combines with CO₂ in the presence of RuBisCO to initiate the cycle.

MCQ
Match the stages of Calvin cycle with the events:
  • a) A–ii, B–i, C–iii, D–iv
  • b) A–i, B–ii, C–iv, D–iii
  • c) A–ii, B–iv, C–i, D–iii
  • d) A–iii, B–ii, C–iv, D–i
✅ Correct Answer: A
A → Carboxylation: RuBP reacts with CO₂, catalyzed by RuBisCO → CO₂ fixation step; B → Reduction: ATP and NADPH reduce 3-PGA to triose phosphate (G3P); C → Regeneration: A portion of G3P is used to reform RuBP; D → Glucose synthesis: Two G3P molecules combine and undergo polymerisation to form glucose. These three primary stages (A–C) are directly named in NCERT. Glucose synthesis (D) is the biological outcome, not a formal stage but implied.
MCQ
What determines whether RuBisCO will fix CO₂ or O₂? c) CO₂ to O₂ concentration ratio around the enzyme
  • A. Light intensity
  • B. ATP/NADPH ratio
  • C. CO₂ to O₂ concentration ratio around the enzyme
  • D. Temperature of the stroma
✅ Correct Answer: C
The relative concentrations of CO₂ and O₂ influence whether RuBisCO functions as a carboxylase or oxygenase.
MCQ
Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding Calvin cycle?
  • A. It occurs in the stroma
  • B. It occurs independently of light
  • C. It uses the products of light reaction
  • D. It fixes six CO₂ to make one glucose
✅ Correct Answer: B
While light is not directly used, the cycle is dependent on ATP and NADPH from light reaction.
