FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the Calvin Cycle?

The Calvin Cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts in photosynthetic organisms, where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the primary function of the Calvin Cycle?
Back
The primary function of the Calvin Cycle is to synthesize glucose from carbon dioxide and other compounds, providing energy for the plant.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the role of RuBisCO in the Calvin Cycle?
Back
RuBisCO (Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the first step of the Calvin Cycle, fixing carbon dioxide to ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) to form 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA).
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What are the three main phases of the Calvin Cycle?
Back
The three main phases of the Calvin Cycle are carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration of ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP).
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is produced during the reduction phase of the Calvin Cycle?
Back
During the reduction phase of the Calvin Cycle, ATP and NADPH are used to convert 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA) into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), a three-carbon sugar.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How many molecules of G3P are produced for every three molecules of CO2 that enter the Calvin Cycle?
Back
For every three molecules of CO2 that enter the Calvin Cycle, one molecule of G3P is produced.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to the G3P produced in the Calvin Cycle?
Back
The G3P produced in the Calvin Cycle can be used to form glucose and other carbohydrates, or it can be converted into other organic compounds.
