Question 1

Phases of Calvin Cycle

C_________ FIXATION
R___________
REGENERATION OF R_______

Answer 1

Phases of Calvin Cycle

CARBON FIXATION
REDUCTION
REGENERATION OF RUBP

Question 2

This is the process of assimilating carbon from a non-organic compound (CO2) and incorporating it into an organic compound (carbohydrates).

Answer 2

Carbon Fixation

Question 3

an enzyme also known as RuBP carboxylase)

Answer 3

Rubisco

Question 4

a 5-carbon sugar

Answer 4

RuBP

Question 5

In this phase the 3-PGA molecules created through carbon fixation are converted into molecules of simple sugar – glucose.

Answer 5

Reduction

Question 6

Since this is the Calvin Cycle, we must end up back at the beginning

Answer 6

Regeneration of RuBP

Question 7

The remaining 5 G3P molecules (3-carbons each!) get rearranged (using ATP) to form 3 RuBP molecules (5-carbons each).

Answer 7

Regeneration of RuBP

Question 8

occurs in the stroma inside the chloroplasts (inside the cell.)

Answer 8

Calvin Cycle

Question 9
