Q

A sequence of reactions
using electrons from
NADPH and some of the
ATP to reduce carbon
dioxide to Glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate

A

Reduction

21
Q

carbon dioxide
is attached to ribulose 1, 5-
bisphosphate resulting in a six
carbon molecule that splits
into three carbon molecule.

A

Carbon fixation

22
Q

Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate is
regenerated. For every three turns of
the cycle, five molecules of
Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate are used to
reform three molecules of Ribulose 1,5-
bisphosphate. The remaining
Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is then used
to make glucose, fatty acids or glycerol.

A

Regeneration of RuBP
