FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the primary function of the Calvin Cycle in photosynthesis?

Back

The Calvin Cycle is responsible for converting carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose, using energy from ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What are the three main stages of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

The three main stages of the Calvin Cycle are carbon fixation, reduction phase, and regeneration of ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP).

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is carbon fixation in the context of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

Carbon fixation is the process of converting inorganic carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic compounds, specifically through the incorporation of CO2 into ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) to form 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA).

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Which enzyme catalyzes the first step of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

The enzyme that catalyzes the first step of the Calvin Cycle is ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO).

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What are the end products of the Calvin Cycle?

Back

The end products of the Calvin Cycle are glucose and other carbohydrates, as well as regenerated ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP).

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How does NADPH contribute to the Calvin Cycle?

Back

NADPH provides the reducing power needed for the conversion of 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA) into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) during the reduction phase of the Calvin Cycle.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What role does ATP play in the Calvin Cycle?

Back

ATP provides the energy required for the conversion of 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA) into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) and for the regeneration of ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP).
