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.
In the light-independent reactions or Calvin cycle, the energized electrons from the light-dependent reactions provide the energy to form carbohydrates from carbon dioxide molecules. The light-independent reactions are sometimes called the Calvin cycle because of the cyclical nature of the process.
