The primary function of the Calvin cycle is to:
1. use ATP to release carbon dioxide
2. use NADPH to release carbon dioxide
3. split water and release oxygen
4. fix inorganic carbon to simple sugars

Oxidation of pyruvate occurs in mitochondria in pjotosthesizing cells as well. In such this occurs:
1. in photosynthetic cells in the light, while photosynthesis occurs concurrently
2. in non-photosynthesizing cells only
3.in photosynthesizing cells in dark periods and in other tissues all the time
4. in photosynthesizing cells in the light and in other tissues in the dark
