If you took a well-watered corn plant and placed it in an atmosphere of helium and carbon dioxide, which process could occur?

Question

A. Light-dependent reactions

B. Light-independent reactions

C. Citric acid cycle

D. Pyruvate oxidation

Answer 1

The process that could potentially occur in this scenario is the light-independent reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle. This process takes place in the chloroplasts of plants and is responsible for converting carbon dioxide into glucose using energy from ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions.
