Question 5 • First Semester Biology

Which explains how the Calvin cycle and the Krebs cycle differ?

Answer
A
The Calvin cycle uses ATP to make glucose.
B
The Krebs cycle uses ADP to make glucose.
C
Only the Calvin cycle occurs in plant cells.
D
The Krebs cycle only repeats in animal cells.

Explanation

The Calvin cycle uses energy from ATP to build sugars from carbon dioxide; those sugars can be used to make glucose. The Krebs cycle instead breaks down molecules derived from glucose and releases energy, so it does not use ADP to make glucose. Both cycles occur in plant cells, and the Krebs cycle is not limited to animal cells.
