Document Summary

Calvin cycle reactions making sugars: powered by atp and nadph generated, occurs in stroma of chloroplasts, end product is glucose, 3 steps. Fixation of carbon dioxide: co_2 from the atmosphere attached to rubp by rubp carboxylase, 6 carbon molecule split into two 3-carbon molecules. Reduction of carbon dioxide: uses nadph and some atp from light reactions, forms g3p, which can become glucose. Regeneration of rubp: 1 g3p can be made into glucose or other organic molecules, 5 g3p used to reform rubp, utilizes atp from light reactions. Plants are adapted to the light and rainfall conditions of their environment. When light and rainfall are moderate: uses c_3 photosynthesis c_3 plant c_3 compound formed first after co_2 fixation. C_4 photosynthesis: anatomy of c_4 plant different from c_3 plant. C_3 plant has mesophyll cells arranged in parallel rows. Calvin cycle and light reactions both occur here. C_4 plant has layered arrangement around leaf veins.
