Photosynthesis (Calvin Cycle (Three Steps (1) Carbon Fixation (CO2 is…

- - - - CO2 is attached to Ribulose 1,5 -Biphosphate (RuBP)
      - 6-carbon molecule splits into two 3-carbon molecules
    - - Uses electrons from NADPH and some ATP to reduce CO2
    - - For every three turns of cycle 5 molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate are used to reform three molecules of RuBP
      - The remaining glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is used to make glucose, fatty acits, or glycerol
        
        Takes 2 molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to create 1 molecule of glucose phosphate
- - - - Chlorophyll
      - Electrons are reenergized
        
        NADP Reductase
        
        NADP+ is converted to NADPH
    - - Create energy for manufacture of sugars
      - Photolysis
        
        Oxidation of water molecule
        
        Produces free electrons and oxygen gas
