Document Summary
After 3 turns of the calvin cycle. G3p forms the basic building block for more complex carbohydrate molecules (ch2 o) Carbohydrates exist as monosaccharides or chains of monosaccharides. Most commonly 3, 5 or 6 carbon molecules. Monosaccharides with 5 or more carbons can fold into a ring form. Ring form more common than linear in cells. Glucose can exist in a linear form, but mostly ring. Used for a number of cellular functions aside from energy storage. Photorespiration is the process where ribisco fixes oxygen; a detrimental process to plant cells. C6h12o6 + 6o2 6co2 + 6h2 o + energy. Catabolic, exergonic pathway which consumes oxygen and produces water. Energy extracted from glucose to a form that the cell can readily use atp. Structure that contain a lot of carbon and hydrogen bond, and the way they share their electrons. Electrons which are farther from the nucleus contain more energy.
