Calvin Cycle

Light Dependent Reaction

Where do ATP and NADPH (the energy needed for the Calvin Cycle) come from?

Stroma

Where does the Calvin Cycle occur?

Air

Where does the CO2 needed for the Calvin Cycle come from?

Stomata

How does CO2 enter a leaf?

RuBP

What is the 5 Carbon structure that binds with CO2 at the beginning of the Calvin Cycle?

G3P

What 3 carbon molecules combine to make glucose and regenerate RuBP?

6

How many CO2 molecules are needed to make 1 glucose molecule?

18 ATP, 12 NADPH and 6 CO2

Per Glucose the Calvin cycle uses

Thylakoid

After Calvin Cycle ADP and NADP+ are transported back to the ___________ to be re-energized

Calvin Cycle

What is the best title of the picture?

Photosynthesis

What is the best title of the picture?

Light dependent reaction

What is the best title of the picture?

Guard Cells

What regulates the opening and closing of the Stomata?

Chlorophyll

What is the primary pigment used in photosynthesis and is why plants are green?

Stomata

Small openings on the underside of a leaf through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can move

Rubisco

enzyme that catalyzes the first step of the Calvin cycle (the addition of CO2 to RuBP, or ribulose bisphosphate).

Carbon fixation

The initial incorporation of carbon into organic compounds, 1st stage of calvin cycle

Reduction (Calvin Cycle)

6ATP and 6NADH invested to make six G3P

one of these is removed for glucose, stage 2

Regeneration of RuBP

G3P converted into 6 RuBP using 6 ATP, stage 3
