Calvin Cycle Chapter 10.3
2
Learning Target 3 (10.3) I can describe how the Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide to sugar.
3
Calvin Cycle Part of photosynthesis that makes glucose
4
Light Independent Reactions (Calvin Cycle) NADPH and ATP generated in light dependent reactions run the Calvin Cycle Depends on light reactions even though it happens in light and dark Many cycles produce glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6 )
5
3 Stages Carbon fixation Rubisco Rubisco enzyme attaches CO 2 gas to RuBP molecule This molecule (6C) splits into 2 3C molecules Reduction ATP, NADPH provide energy to reduce these 3C molecules into G3P sugar (CH 2 O) G3P sugars will build to make glucose or be stored for later use Regeneration of CO 2 acceptor (RuBP) ATP energy used to prepare RuBP receive next CO 2 3 turns required to make 1 G3P sugar 6 turns required to make 1 glucose

Calvin Cycle Summary Reactants: NADPH ATP CO 2 Products: NADP + ADP + P i CH 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6
