Publishing as Benjamin Cummings Using carbon from CO 2, electrons from NADPH, and energy from ATP –The cycle constructs G3P, which is used to build glucose and other organic molecules Figure 7.10B CALVIN CYCLE 3 3 P CO 2 Step Carbon fixation. An enzyme called rubisco combines CO 2 with a five-carbon sugar called ribulose bisphosphate (abbreviated RuBP). The unstable product splits into two molecules of the three-carbon organic acid, 3-phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA). For three CO 2 entering, six 3-PGA result. 1 Input: In a reaction catalyzed by rubisco, CO 2 is added to RuBP. P 6 P RuBP 3-PGA 1 G3P 6P 2 Step Reduction. Two che- mical reactions (indicated by the two blue arrows) consume energy from six molecules of ATP and oxidize six molecules of NADPH. Six molecules of 3- PGA are reduced, producing six molecules of the energy- rich three-carbon sugar, G3P 6 ATP 6ADP +P 6NADPH 6 NADP Step Release of one molecule of G3P. Five of the G3Ps from step 2 remain in the cycle. The single molecule of G3P you see leaving the cycle is the net product of photosynthesis. A plant cell uses two G3P molecules to make one molecule of glucose. Output: 1 P G3P Glucose and other compounds ADP ATP 4 Step Regeneration of RuBP. A series of chemical reactions uses energy from ATP to rearrange the atoms in the five G3P molecules (15 carbons total), forming three RuBP molecules (15 carbons).These can start another turn of the cycle. 5P G3P 4
