Document Summary

Predominantly has to do with the calvin cycle. Carbon dioxide is fixed; inorganic carbon (from co2) is converted to an organic form (in g3p) and becomes g3p. Carbon dioxide combines with rubp (substrate of. Stage 1: fixation: carbon is being fixed onto organic molecules. Stage 2: reduction: nadph is not being reduced, it is being oxidized; electrons are being donated from water to the calvin cycle to make bonds. The proton gradient is described in terms of ph: ph is lower when proton levels are high; ph is higher when proton levels are low. The availability of molecules is described in ratios: adp/atp ratio, nadp+/nadph, p680/p680, co2/o2, sa/v. Rubisco is an enzyme that has three substrates; carbon dioxide, oxygen (known as a substrate, seen as a competitive inhibitor because it competes with co2), and rubp. G3p is the starting material for the synthesis of all organic molecules that are needed for growth. Coordinated gene expression of rubisco by 2 genomes.
