Light independent reaction

Location of LIR

stroma

what the LIR is also known as

Calvin Cycle (Name)

Rubisco

Enzyme which catalyses reaction between CO2 and RuBP

temperature in LIR

affects the rate of reaction

molecules required for the Calvin cycle

Carbon Dioxide, reduced NADP and ATP

Products of the Calvin cycle

triose phosphate, ADP, NADP

Reaction which provides energy to change GP into TP

Hydrolysing ATP

what reduced NADP provides to reduce GP to TP

H molecule

molecule that reacts with RuBP (C5) in the first stage of the Calvin Cylce

CO2 which has been diffused in from the stomata

full name (RuBP)

Ribulose bisphosphate

full name (TP)

triose phosphate

full name (GP)

Glycerate-3-phosphate

Number of carbons in GP

3

amount of carbons in TP

3

amount of GP in second stage of Calvin cycle

2

how GP is reduced into TP

using energy provided from ATP and the addition of a H molecule from reduced NADP which is oxidised

how GP is turned into TP

Using energy from ATP and Reduction

why a carbon molecule from TP leaves the cycle each turn

to be converted into a useful organic substance

molecule created once the Calvin cycle has had 6 turns

useful organic substances

what the rest of the TP molecule is used for

to regenerate RuBP

what the rest of the TP molecule is used for

to regenerate RuBP

what the hexose sugars produced in the reaction may go onto be used for

Disaccharides (sucrose), polysaccharides (cellulose for cell wall) or other molecules (glycerol which can bond with fatty acids)
