Calvin Cycle
- Ribulose Bisphosphate
RuBP
- Carbon dioxide
- Carboxylated
to form two...
- Glycerate 3-phosphate
GP
- Catalysed by enzyme found
in stroma called rubisco
- Reduction and
Phosphorylation
- Triose phosphate
TP
- Recycled by phosphorylation
- Using ATP
- Ribulose Bisphosphate
RuBP
- Using ATP
- TP can pair up to
form hexose sugars
e.g. glucose. These
can then be
isomerised to form
other 6 carbon
sugars e.g. fructose.
Glucose and fructose
can combine to form
sucrose.
- Hexose sugars can be
polymerised into
carbohydrates such as
cellulose and starch.
- Hexose sugars can be
polymerised into
carbohydrates such as
cellulose and starch.
- TP can be converted
into glycerol and
combined with fatty
acids to make lipids.
- Recycled by phosphorylation
- ATP and reduced
NADP are used
- Triose phosphate
TP
- Can be used to
make amino acids
and fatty acids
- Carbon dioxide
has been fixed
- Catalysed by enzyme found
in stroma called rubisco
- Glycerate 3-phosphate
GP
- Carbon dioxide
