calvin cycle phase 2

Question 0

step 2

Answer 0

the energy stored in NADPH & ATP are transferred to the 3-PGA molecules to form a high energy molecule - G3P

Question 1

step 1

Answer 1

Carbon fixation: the joining of carbon with other organic molecules (6CO2 combine with 6 five carbon compounds, forming 12 two carbon molecules -3-PGA

Question 2

step 3

Answer 2

2 G3P molecules leave the cycle to be used to make glucose & other organic compounds

Question 3

step 4

Answer 3

an enzyme, RUBISCO, converts the leftover G3P molecules (RuBP.) these molecules combine with new CO2 molecules to continue the cycle

Question 4

is phase 2 dependent or independent?

Answer 4

independent

Question 5

RUBISCO that ties into the 4th step..

Answer 5

RUBISCO is the most important biological molecules because it turns inorganic CO2 into organic molecules

Question 6

where is energy stored?

Answer 6

organic molecules (glucose)
