Document Summary

Co2 gets put in carbs- precursor to all organic molecules. 3 phases carbon intermediate splits into 2 3pg: carbon fixaion- co2 incorporated in rubp using rubisco, reducion and carbohydrate producion- atp used to convert 3pg into 1,3-biosphosphoglycerate, regeneraion of rubp. 6co2 for 12 g3p- 2 for carbs and 10 for regeneraion. 10 g3p converted into 6 rubp using 6 atp. Environmental condiions inluence eiciency of calvin cycle: light intensity, temp, water availability. Rubp+co2=2 3pg: rubisco funcions as a carboxylase, c3 plants make 3pg. Rubisco can also be an oxygenase by adding o2 to rubp and releasing co2: photorespiraion, using o2 and liberaing co2 is wasteful. More likely in hot, dry environment and when co2 low and o2 high. C4 plants- make 4 c as irst step in carbon ixaion. Leaves have 2 cell layer organizaion: mesophyll cells. Co2 enters via stromata and 4c compound formed by pep carboxylase does not promote photorespiraion: bundle sheath cells.
