1
what is the calvin cycle
a process that happens in stroma, independent from light, and uses CO2 from atmosphere and incoporates it to make PGAL
2
where does calvin cycle happen
in stroma
3
what happens here
CO2 is incorporated in one RuBP 5 C chain.
forms a 6 carbon chain, unstable, so splits to 2 kf PGA molecules, each with 3C.
4
what happens in rearranging PGA to make make PGAL
2 ATP and 2 NADPH are used to rearrang PGA to make PGAL
PGAL can later be used to make sugar and glucose
5
what happens in recycling
5 remaining PGAL are rearranged to make RuBP using ATP
6
how many ATP and NADPH are used in one cycle and total molecules number in 1
6 ATP in rearranging
6 NADPH in rearranging
3 more ATP in recycling
mff
1 CO2
1 RUBP
2 PGA
2 ATP
2 ADP=2P
2 NADPh
2 NADPh
2 PGAL
1 carbon
1 PGAL and 2 carbons
1 ATP and 1 ADP
then 1 RUBP
7
numbers if 3 CO2
3 three RUBP
3CO2
six PGA
Six ATP
then 6 NADPH
then 6 PGAL
5 PGAL then 3 ATP
