calvins cylcle

Question 1

calvins cycle purpose

Answer 1

photosynthesis! the production of glucose from co2 (in plants only)

Question 2

is the calvins cycle light-dependent or light-independent

Answer 2

it’s light independent because it doesn’t use sunlight directly; it uses the atp and nadph from it

Question 3

calvin cycle location

Answer 3

chloroplasts

Question 4

calvins cycle input

Answer 4

CO₂ as the main ingredient, ATP and NADPH powers the process

Question 5

calvin’s cycle output

Answer 5

glucose and other sugars

Question 6

who goes through calvin’s cycle

Answer 6

all plants, some fungi and bacteria

Question 7

what role does RuBP play in Calvin’s cycle?

Answer 7

it combines with CO2 to make a 6-carbon chain

Question 8

how is 3PGA formed?

Answer 8

the 6-carbon chain made of RuBP and Co2 splits because it’s too weak, forming 3-PGA molecules, which are 2 carbon chains of 3.

Question 9

what role does 3-PGA play in Calvin’s cycle?

Answer 9

it gets converted into g3p molecules, which are also 2 carbon chains of 3.

Question 10

What role does g3p play in Calvin’s cycle?

Answer 10

2 molecules of g3p combine to form glucose
