31
Q

What happens at the Active site

A

Substrate bonds to active site of enzyme results determined by shape of enzyme

32
Q

62
Q

Calvin Cycle

A

uses ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 to glucose or other sugar

63
Q

Phase 1 of calvin cycle

A

carbon fixation- forms two molecules with three carbons and attaches CO2 to sugar
