10.3 calvin cycle Flashcards
1
Q
product
A
G3P
- 3 turns
- fixing 3 CO2s
2
Q
steps for the calvin cycle
A
carbon fixation
-reduction
regenration
3
Q
carbon fixation
A
attaches Co2 to RuBP
- rubisco
- -forms a 6 carbon structure that puts unto 2 three phosphoglycerate
4
Q
reduction
A
6NADH + 6ATP + 3-phosphoglycerate -> 6G3P (only one is net gained b/c 5 G3P go to regeneration)
5
Q
regeneration
A
5G3P + 3ATP -> RuBP
6
Q
Calvin cycle equation
A
9ATP+6NADPH->1 G3P
