Question:
What are the steps of the calvin cycle?
Author: Sammy UniverseAnswer:
1) Carbon fixation = Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP 5c) is catalyzed with rubisco to attach CO2 2) 6C two glycerate-3-phosphate (GP) formed = 3 RuBP + 3CO2 = 6GP 3) GP reduced into TP triose phosphate with 6NADPH (H atoms) and 6ATP (energy) for 6GP 4) RuBP remade = 1 TP = 1/2 glucose so 2 cycles needed 5) 5 TP used to remake RuBP (5C molecule) using 3 ATP
