CALVIN CYCLE

IRL how much CO2 goes in for 1 cycle

1

what happens after we have 6 G3P

1 G3P leaves as .5 glucose and 5 go on to regenerate RUBP for the next cycle.

what is made in the hill reaction that we use in the Calvin cycle

18 ATP + 12 NADPH

so starting with 3 CO2 it takes us ---- cycle(s) to make one glucose molecule

2

using 3 CO2 means that we have to make ___ cycles to make ___ glucose

2 cycles (of 3 CO2) = 1 glucose

But to make it easier we imagine ____ CO2 going in at the same time

3

5 G3P makes

3 RuBP

IRL how many cycles does it take to make 1 glucose molecule

6

what are the reactants of the calvin cycle (for one glucose)

6 CO2 + 18 ATP + 12 NADPH

what are the product of the hill reaction?

6 O2 + 18 ATP + 12 NADPH

when 1 CO2 enters the Calvin it takes _____ cycles to make ___ glucose

6 cycles = 1 glucoses

what is rubisco?

An enzyme that catalyzes the reaction between RUBP and CO2

How does ATP turn phosphoglycerates into Biphosphoglycerates

ATP gives up a phosphate group turning ATP (adenosine-TRIphosphate) into ADP (adenosine-Diphosphate) in doing so turns phosphoglycerates into Biphosphoglycerates

What are the 3 phases of the Calvin Cycle?

carbon fixation reduction regeneration

rubisco is the _________ ________ enzyme

carbon fixation enzyme

what do we need next when we have 6 phosphoglycerates? (what does it turn into?

we need 6 ATP to turn it into 6 diphosphoglycerates

we use _______ to ______ Biphosphoglycerate into ____

we use NADPH to REDUCE Biphosphoglycerate into G3P. 6 NADPH to reduce 6 Biphosphoglycerates to turn into 6 G3P

after fixing 3 CO2 on 3 RUBP what happens

that makes 3 phosphoglycerates (unstable) so it splits and turns into 6 phosphoglycerates.

rubisco is

the most common enzyme on the planet

what does the Calvin cycle do?

Reduce CO2 into Glucose

What is carbon fixation?

sticking CO2 on molecules

Calvin cycle occurs in the
