light indeendent reactions Flashcards
1
Q
stage 3
A
reactions that don’t need solar energy called the calvin cycle
Transfer high energy molecules to G3P used to make glucose
Occurs in storma
2
Q
carbon fixation (calvin cycle)
A
formation of high energy organic molecules from CO2
Atp + high energy electrons carried by NADPH make G3P
3
Q
what is G3P
A
sugar used to make glucose
4
Q
calvin cycle formula
A
3 Atp & 2 NADPH are used up for every 1 glucose
6H2O are consumed for every glucose formed
5
Q
where do light independent reactions occur
A
stroma
