A second home is a residence that you intend to occupy in addition to a primary residence for part of the year. Typically, a second home is used as a vacation home, though it could also be a property that you visit on a regular basis, such as a condo in a city where you frequently conduct business. Often, to qualify for a second-home loan, the property must be located in a resort or vacation area (such as the mountains or near the ocean) or a certain distance from the borrower's primary residence.
The primary function of the Calvin cycle is to synthesize simple sugars from Carbon Dioxide.
At this stage of photosynthesis, the energy released from ATP produced during light reactions is used to drive the conversion of carbon dioxide and other compounds into an organic molecule (e.g. glucose). In C3 plants, the Calvin cycle is used directly to fix carbon dioxide. In C4 plants and CAM plants, a different carbon fixation precedes Calvin cycle. Word origin: named after one of the discoverers, Melvin Calvin, a Nobel prize-winning chemist. See also: Photosynthesis on Tutorials for further information.
