Summary
-Calvin cycle uses carbon from the carbon dioxide, energy from the ATP, and high-energy electrons and hydrogen ions from the NADPH
-each turn of the Calvin cycle, there are chemical inputs and outputs
-Calvin cycle uses carbon from the carbon dioxide, energy from the ATP, and high-energy electrons and hydrogen ions from the NADPH
-each turn of the Calvin cycle, there are chemical inputs and outputs
-Calvin cycle is called a cycle because, like the Krebs cycle in cellular respiration, the starting material is regenerated each time the process occurs
-sugar is not yet glucose, but a smaller sugar named G3P
-6 CO2 + 6 H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
-converting light energy to chemical energy, photosynthesis is the first step in the flow of energy through an ecosystem
-Photosynthesis is the ultimate source of all the food you eat and all the oxygen you breathe
Concept Check 8.3
1. What are the inputs and outputs of the Calvin cycle?
Inputs of the Calvin cycle are carbon dioxide from the air and the ATP and NADPH produced by the light reactions. Outputs of the Calvin cycle are an energy-rich sugar molecule.
2. Which stage of photosynthesis uses each reactant from the overall photosynthesis equation? Which stage generates each product from the overall photosynthesis equation?
The light reactions of photosynthesis uses each reactant from the overall photosynthesis equation. In the other hand, Calvin cycle generates each product from the overall photosynthesis equation.
3. Why is the Calvin cycle called a cycle?
Calvin cycle called a cycle because like the Krebs cycle in cellular respiration, the starting material is regenerated each time the process occurs.
4. What molecule is the direct product of photosynthesis? How is that molecule then used by plant cells?
The direct product of photosynthesis are carbohydrates. That molecule then used by plants cell by changing the glucose into the ATP by doing cellular respiration.
