explain the process of the Calvin cycle

  1. CO2 and RuBP react together this reaction is catalysed by rubisco this forms a 6c intermediate which is so unstable instantly breaks into 2 x GP

  2. Then ATP is broken down into ADP + Pi by hydrolysis this releases energy this energy is then used to oxidised NADPH so it looses a Hydrogen. This hydrogen is then picked up by 2xGP reducing it to TP

  3. One carbon leaves the 2x TP per cycle. Theses carbons form useful organic substances

  4. an ATP is hydrolysed to form ADP +Pi this energy is needed to regenerate RuBP from 2xTP( with a missing carbon)
