Summarize the events of the Calvin cycle. Where does it occur? What molecule is fixed? What is the product of the cycle? Where does the energy come from to drive the cycle? What molecule is regenerated?
Describe the energy flow in the Calvin Cycle of photosynthesis? How many turns are
needed to make the final products? Be specific, include the stages the energy quantity
and each of the products. Discuss the differences between carbon fixation, reduction
and regeneration.
Include the products, reactants, total energy required and total electron carriers. What is
the final product.
Which among the following statements is INCORRECT?
The first event in the Calvin cycle is the attachment of carbon dioxide to the five-carbon RuBP molecule, which forms a
six-carbon molecule that breaks down into two 3PG molecules.
The first event in the Calvin cycle is the attachment of carbon dioxide to the five-carbon RuBP molecule, which is a
reaction assisted by large quantities of RuBP carboxylase enzyme.
The first event in the Calvin cycle is the attachment of carbon dioxide to the five-carbon RuBP molecule, which decreases
cell carbon dioxide levels, which increases the diffusion gradient.
The first event in the Calvin cycle is the attachment of carbon dioxide to the five-carbon RuBP molecule, which
immediately becomes a six-carbon sugar that is the base for starch, sucrose, cellulose, etc.

- There are some similarities and some differences between the citric acid cycle in the mitochondrion and the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis. Which of the following is NOT a true difference between the two cycles? Both involve CO2, but in the Calvin cycle CO2 is used brought into the process as a source of carbon for the sugar being built. In the Mitochondrion, CO2 is removed from the sugar and leaves the cell. In the Calvin cycle, ATP is used to carry chemical energy from the light reactions to the the Calvin cycle where the chemical energy is incorporated in the sugar molecule that is being manufactured. In the mitochondrion, ATP is produced and brought out of the mitochondrion so it can provide chemical energy to the many activities going on in the cytoplasm The first step in the Calvin cycle, the carboxylation of RuBP, produces a 12-carbon product that splits into two 6 carbon pieces. In the first step of the citric acid…arrow_forwardExamine the processes and reactions involved in Calvin Cycle, then answer briefly the following questions: 1. Explain how the Calvin cycle begins. Answer: 2. Describe the roles of ATP and NADPH in the Calvin cycle. In which phase of the Calvin cycle requires these both molecules? Answer: 3. Why is the third stage of the Calvin cycle called regeneration stage? Answer: 8 | Page 4. Which phase of the Calvin cycle is affected if the plant cells don't produce rubisco? Explain. Answer:arrow_forwardWhat are the stages of the Calvin-Benson cycle? Select all that apply. The resulting unstable six-carbon molecule splits into two three-carbon molecules of PGA. ATP and NADPH are used to convert PGA molecules to PGAL. Most of the PGAL is used to regenerate RuBP, but some is exported to the cytoplasm to produce carbohydrates. Rubisco attaches CO2 to a five-carbon organic compound called RuBP. Rubisco is used to convert PGA molecules to PGAL.arrow_forward
- For each of the following sentences, fill in the blanks with the best word or phrase selected from the list below. Not all words or phrases will be used; each word or phrase can be used more than once. Calvin cycle can be organized into 3 basic stages. During the stage, the enzyme catalyze the fixation of by ribulose biphosphate. For each CO2 and RuBP, two molecules of get formed. During the phase, and are used to convert 6 molecules of 3-PGA into G3P. During the phase, one molecule of G3P leaves the Calvin cycle to contribute to the formation of other compounds needed by the plant. The remaining 5 molecules of G3P regenerate . This enables the system to fix more . 3-phosphoglycerate NADPH fixation ATP pyruvate reduction…arrow_forwardPhotosynthesis and Respiration are opposing processes. One is required to produce food, the other to derive energy from food. Each of these processes involves a cycle to complete its goal.

- A culture of the single celled organism Chlamydomonas is actively carrying out photosynthesis in the presence of light and CO2. If you turned off the light, how would you expect the amounts of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate and 3-phosphoglycerate to change over the next minute? How about if you left the light on and removed the CO2? Please answer these questions with specific references to the Calvin cycle.arrow_forwardThe high energy molecules that provide the energy to run the reactions of the Calvin cycle are ______________ and ________________. 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_forwardThe pentose phosphate pathway is a critical pathway in animals for the production of NADPH and pentose sugars and in many aspects mirrors the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis.
