Summary of the Calvin cycle

ATP and NADPH from light dependent stage is used to turn CO2 from the atmosphere into carbohydrates (GALP)

2
New cards

Where does the Calvin cycle occur

Stroma

New cards

1st step

A molecule of CO2 is combined with RuBP via RUBISCO to make an unstable 6 carbon molecule

4
New cards

2nd

The unstable 6 carbon molecule breaks down into two, 3 carbon molecules called GP

5
New cards

3rd

GP is then converted to GALP by adding an electron from NADPH (redox reaction) and energy from ATP

New cards

4th

10 of 12 GALP is converted back to RuBP via ATP. The other 2 GALP are used to make glucose.
