Question
Chapter 10.3, Problem 3R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The sequence of stoppage of photosynthetic electron transport and the Calvin cycle.
Introduction:
Photosynthesis depends on light as light is responsible for providing the required amount of energy to the plants. In the dark, photosynthesis stops as there are no photon particles available and as a result, the Calvin cycle also stops due to the lack of energy-rich molecules (ATP and NADPH).

During the first step in the Calvin cycle, a molecule of carbon dioxide gas binds to a 5-carbon molecule called Ribulose 1,5-biphosphate (RuBP). This step of the Calvin cycle is called: ___________________________. After three carbon dioxide molecules have been fixed to three RuBP and the Calvin cycle completes one turn, the organic molecule that is produced is _______________________. Once two of the molecules from the previous blank have been produced, they can combine to make a single six-carbon __________________________ molecule.arrow_forwardWhich two products of the light-dependent reactions are used up in the Calvin cycle? Rubisco adds a CO2 molecule to a sugar that contains _______ carbons. The reaction product immediately splits into two sugars that each contain _______ carbons. O2 can compete with CO2 for a place in the rubisco active site. As a consequenceO2 is incorporated into RuBP instead of CO2. Why might this be a disadvantage?arrow_forward
