Calvin Cycle
During the Calvin cycle, carbon is fixed into...
...3-carbon sugars. Some is used to create glucose while some is used to create organic compounds.
Calvin cycle is also called the light-independent reactions...
...because light is not required, just the chemical energy found in ATP and NADPH made during the light reactions.
The source of the carbon in glucose is...
...carbon dioxide that enters through stomata.
The inputs of photosynthesis are...
...carbon dioxide, water, and light energy.
Organic compounds can be used by plants to...
...create new cell walls and is used for new plant growth.
Calvin cycle are a series of reactions that are...
...facilitated by proteins like rubisco and powered by the ATP and NADPH made during the light reactions.
The outputs of photosynthesis are...
...glucose and oxygen gas.
Stomata open and close because...
...guard cells swell up with water or shrink. They tend to shrink when it's too hot out, decreasing the rate of photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide diffuses into the leaf via...
...stomata, small pores on the bottom of a leaf that can open or close.
Calvin cycle occurs in...
...the stroma of the chloroplast.
