Calvin Cycle

Front

Calvin Cycle can occur without ATP

Back

False

Front

5 carbon sugar that combines with CO2 in the Calvin Cycle

Back

RuBP

Front

What happens to the remaining G3P molecules in the last step of the dark reactions?

Back

They are reshuffled to make RuBP by adding ATP.

Front

What is the first stage of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

Carbon fixation

Front

How many carbons does G3P have?

Back

3

Front

What is the main purpose of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

To convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

Front

What enzyme catalyzes the first step of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

Rubisco (Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase)

Front

What are the three main phases of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

Carbon fixation, Reduction, Regeneration of RuBP

Front

What molecule is produced as a result of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

G3P (Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate)

Front

How many turns of the Calvin Cycle are needed to produce one glucose molecule?

Back

Six turns.
