Calvin Cycle

Main products of the Calvin Cycle

• Oxygen, NADP+, ADP

• Glucose, CO2, ADP

• ADP, NADP+, Glucose

• ATP, NADPH, Oxygen

The Calvin Cycle occurs in the

• Thylakoid

• Grana

• Inner membrane of chloroplast

• Stroma

5 carbon sugar that combines with CO2 in the Calvin Cycle

• 3-PGA

• G3P

• RuBP

• Glucose

Which of the following is true of the Calvin Cycle?

• carbon dioxide and energy (ATP and NADPH) are used to make organic compounds

• energy is absorbed from sunlight and converted to chemical energy stored in ATP and NADPH

• Occurs in the thylakoid

• Occurs in the cytoplasm

Increasing carbon dioxide can increase photosynthesis, but only to a maximum rate because

• There are not enough RuBP molecules

• Oxygen cannot leave fast enough

• Large amounts of CO2 cannot fit in the chloroplast

• Calvin cycle can only go as fast as the light reactions

Temperatures that are too high can slow photosynthesis because

• stomata stay open

• enzymes are ruined

• there is not enough CO2

• there is too much water

In the Calvin Cycle, ________ and ________ from the light dependent reactions convert PGA into G3P

• O_2, ATP
• CO₂, H₂
• ADP, NADPH
• NADPH, ATP

In order to efficiently create 1 glucose molecule, the Calvin Cycle must occur how many times?

• 3
• 6
• 1
• 12

The 5-Carbon molecules that the Calvin Cycle starts and ends with, is called _____________.

• PGA
• G3P
• RuBP
• RuDp

• ATP, Glucose
• Glucose, RUBP
