Calvin Cycle Flashcards
1
Q
found in
A
chloroplasts
2
Q
light dependent?
A
not directly
3
Q
purpose
A
consumes NADPH and ATP from light rxns to reduce Co2
4
Q
phase 1
A
In: 3 CO2 + 3 Ribulose Biphosphate + 6ATP
Out: 6 1,3 Biphosphoglycerate (BPG) + 6 ADP
Enzyme: Ribulose biphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco)
5
Q
phase 2
A
In: 6 1,3 BPG
Out: 6 Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP)
1 GAP goes to carbohydrate synthesis
6
Q
phase 3
A
In: 5 GAP +3 ATP
Out: 3ADP + 3 Rubilose biphosphate
restarts the whole rxn
7
Q
Overview:
A
In: 3 CO2(unreactive)
Out: 1 GAP
Products: 9 ATP + 6 NADPH–> 9 ADP + 6 NADP+
