Carbon Fixation, Reduction, Regeneration

Front

What is G3P in the context of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

G3P (Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate) is a three-carbon sugar produced during the Calvin Cycle.

Front

What role does ATP play in the Calvin Cycle?

Back

ATP provides energy for the conversion of G3P to RuBP.

Front

What is RuBP and its significance in the Calvin Cycle?

Back

RuBP (Ribulose bisphosphate) is a five-carbon sugar that combines with CO₂ to initiate the Calvin Cycle.

Front

What is the primary function of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

To convert carbon dioxide into glucose using energy from ATP and NADPH.
