Document Summary

Phase 1: carboxylation: a 5 carbon molecule (rubp) is carboxilated, meaning co2 is added to produce a 6 carbon molecule that immediately breaks in half into 2 3-c molecules (3-pga) Carbon fixation occurs here: useless carbon (co2) useful carbon. Catalyzed by rubisco, which is slow, very abundant, and ambivalent, meaning it can carboxylate or oxygenate, nature strongly favors carboxylation. Phase 2: reduction of 3-pga to gap and dhap (they are triose phosphates- have 3 carbons, and they have more hydrogens because they are reduced). They are transported out of the chloroplast into the cytoplasm where they are converted into glucose and stored as starch. In order to do this, energy and electrons come mainly from. Phase 3: involves 12/15 steps of the calvin cycle. Most of the atp generated is used to do this. 5 3-c molecules are used to generate 3 5-c molecules (rubp) High concentration in lumen, low concentration in stroma.
