New cards

What are the inputs of the Calvin cycle?

CO2, ATP, NADPH

3
New cards

What are the outputs of the Calvin cycle?

glucose

4
New cards

What enzyme fixes CO₂ in the Calvin cycle?

Rubisco

5
New cards

What is carbon fixation?

CO₂ combines with RuBP to form an unstable 6-carbon compound that immediately splits into two molecules of 3-PGA.

6
New cards

What is the reduction phase?

ATP and NADPH convert 3-PGA into G3P

7
New cards

What happens to G3P molecules?

Some make sugar some regenerate RuBP

8
New cards

6

9
New cards

What is the main purpose of the Calvin cycle?

To make glucose using energy from ATP and NADPH

10
New cards

What are the three stages of the Calvin cycle?
