the Calvin cycle
list the reagents and products of photosynthesis
H2O and CO2
what is the source of the oxygen released during photosynthesis
water
whats the role of atp in photosynthesis
it’s the light energy and works like a battery
whats the role of NADPH
it’s to carry the ectrons and hydrogen to the Calvin cycle
whats carbon fixation
it’s the spilting of the carbons
whats the role of the Calvin cycle
it’s to make glucose to keep the plant alive
what are the three parts to the Calvin cycle
fixation, reduction, regeneration
Pgal or G3p
it doesnt matter there the same
what is atp
it makes food and engery for the plant to grow
