5th step of C.C.

ATP used to convert G3P back into RuBP

G3P

2 of these molecules are used to create 1 Glucose molecule in the Calvin Cycle.

1st step of C.C.

3 CO2 (one carbon) added to 3 RuBP (5 carbon)

3rd step of C.C.

3 carbon molecule (From 6 carbon chain being cut) uses NADPH and ATP to generate G3P.

4th Step of C.C.

6 G3P's made (1 leaves C.C. to make glucose and the other 5 remain in C.C.

2nd step of C.C.

6 carbon chain from combining 3 CO2 and 3 RuBP is cut in half

RuBP

A five carbon molecule found in the Calvin Cycle. Regenerated from G3P and the use of ATP

glucose

C6H12O6

Glucose

Final product of Calvin cycle. Two cycles required to make one glucose

After 2nd time through Calvin Cycle

Glucose is Produced

CO2

Molecule entering the calvin cycle. Becomes fixed in order to make G3P and regenerate RuBP.

6th step of C.C.

The calvin cycle happens again to make another G3P that will leave the C.C.

Why is the calvin cycle important to plants

The calvin cycle is important because it produces food for autotrophs (Glucose).

Rubisco

The most abundant protein on earth. Performs Carbon Fixation in the Calvin Cycle.

7th step of C.C.

The two G3P's that left the C.C. combine to make the six carbon molecule Glucose.

ATP and NADPH

what does the Calvin Cycle use to produce high-energy sugars?

Stroma

fluid portion of the chloroplast; outside of the thylakoids. Site of the Calvin Cycle

Calvin Cycle

Carbon fixation process in photosynthesis. Forms sugar and other organic compounds.
