Calvin Cycle
|
-Produces Glucose
-Converts CO2 to Sugars -In the Stoma (Liquid) -Name: C3 Photosynthesis, "Dark Reaction" -Light not directly involved; needed to make ATP and NADPH -6CO2 + 18ATP + 12NADPH = 1 GLUCOSE |
|
Sugar Cyclical Process
|
C + ATP + NADPH => G3P
-Used to make glucose and organic molecules -Takes 6 Turns or 6CO2 Molecules to make 1 GLUCOSE |
|
Steps for Calvin Cycle
|
1 - Carbon Fixation
2 - Energy Consumption and Redox 3 - Release of G3p Molecules 4 - Regeneration of RuBP |
|
Carbon Fixation
|
-6CO2 + 6RuBP => 12 PGA
- . +.-.-.-.-. => .-.-. -This is six reactions together -Ribisco: enzyme |
|
Energy Consumption and Redox
|
-12 PGA [Reduced]
-12 G3P *Full of Energy* (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate) -PGA to G3P is Different Arrangement |
|
Release of 2 G3P Molecules
|
2 G3P => 1 Glucose
.-.-. = .-.-.-.-.-. |
|
Glucose
|
-Used to fuel cellular respiration, make starch, cellulose, and other organic molecules
|
|
Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate
|
-3 Carbon Sugar
- G3P |
|
Ribulose Biphosphate
|
-5 Carbon Sugar
- RuBP |
|
Regeneration of RuBP
|
-Recycle, takes more energy
-Remaining 10 G3P Molecules -RuBP -Series of chemical rxns to rearrange atoms |
|
Normal Conditions
|
-C3 Photosynthesis
-Use CO2 from air to make 3-C compound PGA through Calvin Cycle |
|
Weather
|
Hot, Dry- causes plants to close stomata to prevent water loss, less CO2 and O2 movement, decrease in photosynthesis.
|
|
Ribisco Enzyme
|
-Concentration of O2 increases, (step one of calvin) uses the oxygen inside of CO2.
-Photorespiration |
|
Photorespiration
|
-Yields no sugar molecules
-Creates 2-Carbon product that gets broken down because it is unuseable -Forces peroxisomes in cell to break it down |
|
C4 Plants
|
-C4 Photosynthesis
-Hot, Dry Climates -Specialties to conserve water and prevent photorespiration -Keeps Stomata closed most of time -Enzyme: PEP Carboxylase (phosphoenolpyruvate), unable to fix O2, no photorespiration |
|
C4 Photosynthesis Steps
|
1. PEP Carboxylase Fixes CO2
- PEP + CO2 => OAA 2. Oxaloacetic Acid Converted to malate - OOA => Malate (Shuttled to Bundle Sheath Cells, Barely O2)=> Pyruvate + CO2 3. CO2 Enters Into Calvin Cycle 4. Pyruvate converted back to PEP Carboxylase |
|
CAM Plants
|
-Crassulacean Acid Metabolism
-Very Dry Climate -Night: Stomata Open -PEP Carboxylase =>OOA=>Malic Acid (Shuttled to Vacuole) -Day: Stomata Close, malic Acid =>OAA=>CO2, Enters Calvin Cycle |
