17) What two things come out of the light reaction that supply energy for the Calvin Cycle (dark reaction)?

18) Does the Calvin Cycle require light? ATP? NADPH? CO2? Oxygen?

19) What are the products of the Calvin Cycle? What organic molecules can then be produced from this product?

20) Where do all the carbon in our carbon-containing proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, & carbohydrates come from?

21) When you break food down, what molecule is used to temporarily store its energy in before it can be used by the cell?

22) What substances produced by photosynthesis are used by cellular respiration?

23) Cellular respiration breaks down food molecules to release its stored energy. What kind of organisms do it?
