Q

Steps of the Calvin cycle

A
  1. CO2 binds with RuBP making a 6-Cardon molecule from enzyme Rubisco
  2. 6-carbon molecule breaks into 2 3-cardon molecules (PGA) b/c it unstable
  3. add a phoshpate to 3-cardon
  4. Add ele, for energy from NADPH
  5. Forms G3P
  6. Join 2 G3Ps to form glucose
  7. Other G3P’s are “recycled” making RuBP molecules

No, but at a certain point it will plateau and the efficiency of the plant will stop getting better.
