• Explain about the Calvin cycle and it's three stage procedures.

Thank you!

■PROCESS OF CALVIN CYCLE

The Calvin cycle has these steps :

1.REDUCTION phase

》》The enzyme glyceraldehyde 3- phosphate dehydrogenase catalyzes reduction of 1 , 3BPGA by NADPH .

2.CARBOHYDRATE formation

》》CO2 is reacted to produce G3P . The enzyme RuBisCo catalyzes the Carboxylation of a 5 - Carbon compound to make 6 - Carbon compound that split into half compound 3- PGA molecules. The enzyme phosphoglycerate Kinase catalyzes phosphorylation of 3- PGA to form 1 , 3- BPGA .

3.REGENERATION Phase ( RuBP)

》》At the end of the regeneration the net gain of the set of reactions is one G3P molecule per 3 carbondioxide molecule.

◇Energy to fuel chemical reactions in thus sugar generating process is provided by ATP and NADPH , chemical compounds which contain the energy plants have captured from sunlight .

■CALVIN CYCLE DEFINATION

◇The CALVIN CYCLE is the cycle of the chemical reactions performed by plants to FIX CARBON from CO2 into three - carbon sugars .

◇Plants and animals can turn these three - carbon compounds into amino acids , nucleotides and more complex sugar such as starches.

◇The Calvin cycle is also sometimes referred to as the LIGHT INDEPENDENT reactions of photosynthesis , since it is not directly powered by photons from the sun . Instead , It is powered by ATP AND NADPH
which are created harnessing the energy from photons in the LIGHT DEPENDENT reactions .

■FUNCTIONS OF CALVIN CYCLE

☆The function of this cycle is to create three - carbon sugars , which can be used to build other sugars such as STARCH , GLUCOSE and CELLULOSE that is used by plants as a structural building material.

☆The Calvin cycle takes molecules of carbon straight out of the air and turns them into plant matter .

☆This makes Calvin cycle vital for the existence of most ecosystems , where plants form the base of the ENERGY PYRAMID .

☆Without the the Calvin cycle plants would be unable to store energy in a form that herbivores can digest . Carnivores would subsequently not have access to energy stored in the bodies of herbivores.

☆The carbon backbones created in Calvin cycle are also used by plants and animals to make PROTEINS , NUCLEIC ACID , LIPIDS and all the other building blocks of life's.

☆The Calvin cycle also regulates the level of CARBONDIOXIDE , a greenhouse gas , in the Earth's atmosphere.

hope it helps u dear ^_^
