what is calvin cycle
Answers
Answer:
The Calvin cycle, Calvin–Benson–Bassham (CBB) cycle, reductive pentose phosphate cycle or C3 cycle is a series of biochemical redox reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplast in photosynthetic organisms. ... Photosynthesis occurs in two stages in a cell.
Answer:
Calvin cycle is also known as C3 cycle because in this cycle the first product formed is PGA which is 3 carbon compound.
This reaction is performed by all plants irrespect of their origin.
This reaction helps plant, by using the products of light reaction (ATP and NADH+H)in reducing PGA to PGAL and also in regenerating RUBP from RUMP.
MAIN FUNCTION OF THIS REACTION IS FORMATION OF GLUCOSE BY USING CO2 AND PRODUCTS OF LIGHT REACTION
(ENERGY REQUIRED IN 1 CYCLE -2ATP AND 1 NADH+H IN REDUCTION OF PGA TO PGAL AND 1ATP IN REGENERATION OF RUBP FROM RUMP)
Explanation:
NOTE - FOR FORMATION OF 1 GLUCOSE MOLECULE CALVIN CYCLE TAKES PLACE 6 TIMES.
