Document Summary

How is the structure of atp linked to the fact that its hydrolysis is strongly exergonic. Atp (adenosine triphosphate) consists of a ve carbon sugar: ribose. Ribose is linked to the nitrogenous base adenine and a chain of three phosphate groups. Both products carry a negagve charge resulgng in repulsion between the molecules thus favouring hydrolysis. )the release of the terminal phosphate allows for a more energegcally favoured state. )the release of the orthophosphate ion (hpo4) increases the disorder of the system. What is the biochemical goal of the calvin cycle. The calvin cycle is the second stage of photosynthesis which takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast. In this stage, carbon molecules from co2 are xed into glucose: A ve- carbon sugar molecule called ribulose bisphosphate, or rubp, is the acceptor that binds co2 dissolved in the stroma. This process, called co2 xagon, is catalyzed by the enzyme rubp carboxylase, forming an unstable six- carbon molecule.
