What resources does the Calvin cycle use from the light reactions?
ATP and NADPH
What is the primary purpose of the Calvin cycle?
To convert CO2 into glucose.
What is the nature of the reaction that occurs in the Calvin cycle?
It is an endergonic reaction.
What enzyme combines RuBP with CO2 in the Calvin cycle?
Rubisco.
What happens to the 6-carbon molecule formed in the Calvin cycle?
It is split into 2 3PG molecules.
How many G3P molecules are formed for every 6 CO2 that enter the Calvin cycle?
12 G3P molecules.
How many G3P molecules are used to produce one glucose?
2 G3P molecules.
What happens to the remaining G3P in the Calvin cycle?
The other 10 G3P are used to regenerate RuBP.
What is required for the regeneration of RuBP?
Additional ATP.
How many CO2 molecules are needed to make one glucose in the Calvin cycle?
6 CO2 molecules.
