Light Independent Reaction Photosynthesis

An enzyme that fixes carbon from atmosphere to convert it to complex macromolecule glucose.

• RuBP (Ribulose bisphosphate)

• RuBisCo (Ribulose Bisphosphate Carboxylase)

• PGA (3-Phosphoglycerate)

• G3P (Glyceraldeyhyde 3-Phosphate)

What are the two products of the light reactions that are needed for the calvin cycle?

• NAD and NADPH

• NADP + and Glucose

• NADPH and ATP

• Oxygen and NADPH

Leaves look green because.....

• they eat their vegetables

• to blend into their environment

• they contain a molecule named chlorophyll

• they are sick

What happens to the O₂ created in the light phase?

• Is transferred to the Calvin Cycle

• Donates its electrons to the Chlorophyll molecules

• Provides a carbon to form the unstable 6-carbon molecule

• Diffuses out through the stoma

What is the function of NADP+ and ADP?

• It absorbs light

• It is a major part of the outside of a leaf

• It is a light-reflecting pigment

• these are molecules that are waiting to be energized
