- - - - Ribulose-1,5-bisP carboxylase – oxygenase “Rubisco”
        
        12 molecules PGA = C3
        
        12 ATP -> ADP
        
        12 NADPH -> 12 NADP+ + 12Pi
        
        12 molecules G3P
        
        10 molecules G3P (10x3C)
        
        1 more item...
        
        Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
        
        2 molecules G3P leave the cycle (actual output)
        
        Phosphoglycerate
  - - - transpiration :sweat_drops:
        
        open stomata for CO2 uptake
      - photorespiration :wind_blowing_face:
        
        RubisCO =
        Ribulose-1,5-bisP carboxylase Oxygenase (can use O2 and compete with the PS → thus also produces CO2)
        
        evolved in low (no) oxygen conditions!
- - - - C fixation
        
        phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) (3C)
        
        PEP-carboxylase (+CO2)
        
        oxalacetic acid (C4)
        
        Malate (C4)
        
        high
        affinity for CO2
    - - Calvin-Benson cycle
        
        Malate
        
        pyruvate
        
        CO2
      - high CO2/O2 ratio
- - - - through accumulation of enzymes such as:
        
        PEP carboxylase (PEPC)
        
        Pyruvate-orthophosphate dikinase (PPDK)
        
        to regenerate PEP
