Light Independent reaction- Photosynthesis

Where does light independent photosynthesis occur?

Stroma

What products of light dependant are required in light Independent photosynthesis?

Reduced NADP and ATP

What does the enzyme Rubisco do at the first stage of the calvin cycle?

Catalyses the reaction between CO2 and ribulose Bisphosphate producing 2x Glycerate 3 phosphate

How are the glycerate 3 phosphate reduced?

Using reduced NADP and ATP to produce triose phosphate

How is Triose phosphate used in the calvin cycle?

Recycled to Ribulose Biphosphate or makes glucose

How many turns in the calvin cycle to make 1 glucose molecule?

6 turns

What can a plant use glycerate 3 phosphate for?

Fatty acids and amino acids

What can a plant use Triose phosphate for?

Glycerol and amino acids

First product of the Calvin cycle?

Ribulose Bisphosphate

What does Ribulose Biphosphate make when added with one carbon

2x Glycerate 3 phosphate

What is Glycerate 3 phosphate reduced to?

2x Triose phosphate

What is triose phosphate turned into?

Ribulose Biphosphate or Glucose
