Yes. phosphoglycerate has six carbon atoms. They are usually unstable and can be split spontaneously. They are a precursor for serine.

What three carbon sugar is produced when PGA combines with hydrogen from NADPH?
ATP and NADPH novanet :)
Three carbon molecules of PGA are converted to G3P small sugar molecules by?
ATP and NADPH novanet :)
What three substances are introduced into the Calvin benson cycle to produce to sugar molecules?
The Calvin Benson cycle uses ATP (adenosine triphosphate), NADPH (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), and CO2 (carbon dioxide) to create glucose.
Three-carbon molecules of PGA are converted to energy-rich G3p sugar molecules by?
ATP and NADPH novanet :)
What gas is removed from the atmosphere by the Calvin Cycle?
In each complete run of the Calvin Cycle, six molecules of carbon dioxide eventually produce one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6). In each "turn" of the cycle, the 5-carbon molecule ribulose biphosphate (RuBP) bonds with an incoming carbon dioxide molecule to create a 6-carbon molecule. This 6-carbon molecule breaks into two 3-carbon molecules of phosphoglycerate (PGA). The energy stored in ATP and NADPH is used to attach phosphate groups to the PGA. Eventually, there are 12 molecules of glyceraldehyde phosphate (also known as phosphoglyceraldehyde or PGAL). Two of these molecules are removed from the cycle to make one glucose molecule. The remaining PGAL molecules use ATP energy to reform six RuBP molecules, and thus start the cycle again. Remember that a different reaction-specific enzyme catalyzes each step in this process. Im pretty sure its glucose Check with a teacher to be more sure!
The first stable compound produced from CO2 in the light-independent reactions is?
C6H12O6 (Glucose) is formed from the Carbon in CO2 and H2O (water) is formed from the Oxygen in Co2
What is 3-phosphoglycerate?
3-Phosphoglyceric acid (3PG), or glycerate 3-phosphate (GP), is a biochemically significant 3-carbon molecule that is a metabolic intermediate in both glycolysis and the Calvin cycle. This chemical is often termed PGA when referring to the Calvin cycle. 3-Phosphoglycerate is the resultant of the split of 6 carbon intermediate that is so unstable it splits instantly. And two 3-phosphoglycerate is produced for each molecule of CO2.
What is the first step of the Calvin -benson cycle?
The first step of the Calvin cycle is carbon fixation. RuBisCO (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase) is the enzyme that fixates a carbon from carbon dioxide to RuBP (ribulose-1,5-bisiphosphate) to make 3-phosphoglycerate.
What is the first stable chemical formed by the Calvin Cycle?
G3p You have to capitalize the "p". "G3P" ~Jason
What is the difference between rubisco and RuBP?
Ribulose bisphosphate, known as RuBP, is a 5-carbon sugar that is used in the Dark reactions (Calvin cycle) to fix carbon from CO2 (carbon dioxide). The Dark reactions begin when one molecule of CO2 is attached to RuBP. This is where RuBisCO comes in. Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase is the enzyme that catalyzes the addition of the CO2 molecule to the RuBP. This forms an unstable 6-carbon compound which immediately splits to form two molecules of a 3-carbon compound called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA) Hope that is helpful!
The Calvin cycle begins when CO2 combines with a five-carbon carbohydrate called what?
rubpThey give rise to a 6 C unstable compound.Then this is broken into 2 PGA molecules
How many carbons in lactate?
Lactate is the anion of Lactic acid having 13 carbons because it is the acid of Lactose which has 12 carbon atoms.
What three carbon sugar is produced when PGA combines with hydrogen from NADPH?
ATP and NADPH novanet :)
