Which of the following occurs during the regeneration phase of the Calvin cycle?
Options
A Oxygen production
B RuBP is regenerated using ATP
Correct Answer
C Electrons are excited
D Carbon dioxide is split
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In the final phase of the Calvin cycle, a complex series of reactions rearranges carbon skeletons, using ATP, to regenerate the five-carbon RuBP from five-carbon and three-carbon molecules, allowing the cycle to continue.

Hint

This phase recycles the CO2 acceptor molecule.
