Q
Where do reactions occur?
A
The stroma
1
Q
What is used to make 1 glucose molecule
A
6CO2, 18 ATP, 12 NADPH
2
Q
Step 1
A
RuBP binds to incoming CO2 in carbon fixation. Fixation is catalyzed by an enzyme called Rubisco
3
Q
Step 2
A
The 6-C molecule is lysed into two 3-C G3P
4
Q
Step 3
A
Each are acted on by ATP and NADPH to form TP in a REDOX reaction
5
Q
Step 4
A
The molecules of TP can either leave the circle to become sugar phosphates but most continue in the circle to reduce the original RuBP compound
6
Q
Step 5
A
In order to regain RuBP from TP, ATP is used
