Document Summary

Calvin cycle 3 steps that make up the pathway of co2 fixation: fixation of co2 (carboxylation) Stroma: reduction of 3pg to g3p, regeneration of rubp. Co2 is first added to the acceptor molecule 5c rubp (ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate) catalyzed by. Rubisco: the 6c molecule made is very unstable and immediately splits into 2 molecules of 3pg (3-phosphoglycerate, no additional energy needed, per glucose: 6 3pg: rubisco ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. 1st enzyme in the carbon fixation pathway. Reduction of 3pg to g3p: 3pg reduced to g3p, nadph oxidized to nadp, uses 6 atp. Regeneration of rubp: 1 g3p goes towards make glucose. 1 net g3p: 5 g3p goes toward regeneration of rubp, uses 3 atp. Calvin cycle net cost: 9 atp and 6 nadph. Product of calvin cycle g3p (present in glycolysis) Starch is also made and stored in the other parts of plant for later use (roots,
