1. Photosynthesis and Calvin Cycle

2. Light Reactions Energy from the sun in the chloroplasts breaks up the Water Molecule (Hydrolysis) The Hydrogen Ions are transported down the gradient to power the production of ATP and NADPH molecules ATP and NADPH are molecules used in the light independent reactions and Calvin Cycle to produce Glucose molecules.

3. Page 111 in Alligator book What are the 4 steps of the Calvin Cycle? 1. 2. 3. 4. How many CO2 must be added each turn to make the cycle run?

4. How many ATP’s does it take to convert the 3- 6 carbon molecules into 6-3 carbon molecules? How many NADPH? How many 3 carbon leave the cycle to make Glucose? How many are left in the cycle? For the cycle to return to the point of CO2 reentry what do the 3 carbon molecules do? How many ATP are needed to convert the 3 carbon molecules to 5 carbon molecules?
