Biosynthesis Flashcards
1
Q
Carboxylation Phase in calvin cycle
A
Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase catalyzes the addition of CO2 to ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate
2
Q
Reduction phase
A
PGA is converted to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate by ATP and NADPH dehydrogenation
3
Q
Regeneration Phase
A
Regenerates RuBP
4
Q
Structures where CO2 is fix within
A
Carboxysomes
5
Q
Why does microcompartenization occur
A
To increase efficiency and/or sequester reactive metabolites
6
Q
Alternative pathways for CO2 fixation
A
Many reactions in TCA cycle are reversible. CO2 is a common product of the cycle and the reaction can run in reverse to add carbon
7
