(14 cards)
Calvin Cycle was discovered by
Melvin Cycle
What doew Calvin Cycle use as a source of chemical energy to reduce carbon dioxide to carbohydrate (sugar) ?
ATP and NADPH
Reactants of Light-Independent Reactions
CO2
NADPH
ATP
Products od Light-Independent Reactions
ADP + Pi
NADP+
A carbohydrate formed in dark reactions. It can be later converted into glucose (C6H12O6)
Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P)
RuBP - a 5 carbon sugar
Ribulose Biphosphate
enzyme (RuBisCo)
Ribulose Biphosphate Carboxylase
3-carbon sugar w/ a phosphate group
3-Phosphoglycerate
3-carbon sugar with two phosphate groups
1,3 - Biphosphoglycerate
High Energy (ATP)
Adenosine Triphosphate
NADPH
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide phosphate
How many G3P is needed to form glucose phosphate
2
it is tge transport sugar in plants
sucrose
it is the storage form of glucose
starch
