dark reactions/Calvin cycle Flashcards
1
Q
why is it called a dark reaction
A
doesnt need sunlight
2
Q
what is thre first steo
A
6CO2 and RuBP hook up and make PGA
3
Q
what happens after PGA is made
A
12A7P goes with 12ADP and then is time fo di phosphoglycerate
4
Q
what happens after di phosphoglycerate
A
NADPH mixes with NADPH+ leading to 12G3P (which shoots off two G3P (making glucose) and sending the other 10 to the next step)
5
Q
what is the last step
A
6ATP and 6ADP
