"GALP" in the Calvin Cycle is responsible for the formation of Glucose and RuBP. Glucose is one of the two products of photosynthesis and is important for the survival of the organism. RuBP is a 5-carbon compound that starts the whole Calvin Cycle. Without the presence of GALP, the RuBP will not be able to from and therefore the Calvin Cycle would stop entirely, dramatically reducing glucose levels within the plant (and not replenishing used Glucose), so less aerobic respiration takes place, causing the plant to die. 1/6 of GALP formed is responsible for forming Glucose, whereas 5/6 of GALP molecules produced are responsible for RuBP formation - it's more important to keep the Calvin Cycle going than to supply large amounts of Glucose to the plant.

What final product of the Calvin cycle is used to produce glucose?
The final product of one turn of Calvin cycle is 2 molecules of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) molecules. For each G3P synthesized, the cycle spends nine molecules of ATP and six molecules of NADPH2. The light reactions sustain the Calvin cycle by regenerating the ATP and NADPH2.
The Calvin cycle is a series of reactions that?
The Calvin cycle is a series of reaction that regenerates its starting material after molecules enter and leave the cycle. It builds carbohydrates (specifically, the sugar glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate) from smaller molecules and consumes energy. To do this, the Calvin cycle uses ATP as an energy source and consumes NADPH as reducing power.
How many molecules of high-energy sugars are produced as a result of one Calvin cycle?
the calvin cycle uses 6 molecules of carbon dioxide to produce a singe 6carbon sugar molecule
Which two molecules are high energy molecules produced in the light dependent reactions and consumed in the Calvin cycle?
the two molecules that leave the Calvin cycle and are combined to form glucose is CO2
What provides the carbon that are incorporated into sugar molecules in the Calvin cycle?
carbon dioxide
How many pgal molecules can there be during the Calvin cycle?
There can be up to 12 PGAL molecules during the Calvin cycle
What site does Calvin cycle happen?
The Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts.

Which molecules of the Calvin Cycle are also in glycolysis?
G3p
What 6 molecules enter the Calvin cycle?
glucose
Where does the Calvin cycle happen in the chloroplasts?
In the stroma

Before the calvin cycle begins where is the energy stored?
The energy needed for the Calvin cycle is stored in the form of ATP and NADPH molecules, which are produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. These molecules provide the energy required for the Calvin cycle to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates.
What molecules supply the carbon component of carbohydrates during the Calvin cycle?
molecules of CO2
What molecules do plants take in to begin the Calvin cycle?
Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to begin the Calvin cycle. They also use ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) molecules, which are generated during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, to power the Calvin cycle.
