Which option properly summarizes the inputs and outputs of the Calvin cycle?
1. 6 carbon dioxide molecules combine with six 5-carbon molecules forming twelve 3-carbon molecules.2. The 12 3-carbon molecules are converted into high-energy forms.3. 2 of the 12 3-carbon molecules are removed and the plant uses them to produce sugars, lipids, amino acids, and other compounds.4. The 10 3-carbon molecules What_are_the_four_steps_in_the_Calvin_cycleback into six 5-carbon molecules, which combine with 6 more carbon dioxide molecules.The process starts over.
What happens to each of the 3 carbon atoms in pyruvic acid when it is broken down?
2 stay together and 1 leaves a CO2
What are the 3 basic shapes of carbon molecules?
The 3 basicshapes of carbon molecules are ring, branched, and straight chain.
How many carbon dioxide molecules are needed to produce 3 molecules of glucose?
Each glucose molecule contains 6 carbon atoms. Thus we need 18 molecules of CO2 to make 3 molecules of glucose.
What is the first step to breaking down a glucose molecule is?
Breaking down glucose into pyruvate is known as Glycolysis. Glycolysis involves splitting one molecule of the simple 6-carbon sugar glucose into two smaller molecules of the 3-carbon pyruvate. The process is anaerobic and occurs in the cytoplasm of cell.
During glycolosys glucose molecules is broken into?
In glycolysis, one 6-carbon glucose molecule is converted into two 3-carbon pyruvate molecules. If no oxygen is present then each of those two pyruvate molecules will be converted into 3-carbon lactate (lactic acid).

Can carbonic acid be broken down into two elements?
No. Carbonic acid is a compound of 3 elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It will, however, readily break down into water and carbon dioxide, which are compounds.

What types of molecules are broken down to make ATP where do they come from?
Well, your body makes ATP by cellular respiration. This has 3 (or 4) sections to it: Glycolisis, PreKrebs, Krebs, and the ETC or ETS. Glycolisis is the first section, this takes place in the cytoplasm of a cell. Glucose, which is a six carbon molecule, is the first molecule to be broken down to create ATP. You gain this glucose by consuming it. It can be found in complex carbohydrates. Other molecules are broken down but are broken down at later sections of glycolisis and the rest of cellular respiration. For example glycogen is broken comes into the cycle before the glucose is converted into Fructose 6 phosphate. Fats are some of the next to come into the cycle. Glycerols break down in PGAL ( Phosphoglyceraldahyde) while fatty acids break down into Acetyl- CoA. Finally you have the proteins, which breaks down into amino acids which breaks down into NH3 ( which goes into urine) and carbon backbones which joins the cycle as Pyruvate, Acetyl CoA, and later in the Krebs cycle.
What are the three carbon molecules when glucose is broken in half during glycolysis?
The 3-carbon molecule produced when glucose is broken in half in glycolysis is pyruvic acid. It gives energy to living cells through the Krebs cycle.
What happens to each of the 3 carbon atoms in pyruvic acid when it's broken down?
2 stay together and 1 leaves a CO2
Methane can be broken down into carbon and hydrogen If 8 grams of methane makes 6 grams of carbon. How much carbon can grow 4 grams of methane make?
This is very basic math. Carbon = 6/8*Methane (6/8)*4=3 3 g
How many number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in three molecules of carbon dioxide?
there is no hydrogen in carbon dioxide. since carbon dioxide is CO2 there are 3 carbon and 6 oxygen atoms in three molecules.
What are the 3 basic shapes of carbon molecules?
The 3 basicshapes of carbon molecules are ring, branched, and straight chain.
What is the final electron acceptor in fermentation?
Glycolysis is a biochemical process in which a molecule of glucose (containing 6 carbon atoms) is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate (containing 3 carbon atoms) The process is merely a catabolic pathway. There is no transport of electrons as such.
How many pyruvate molecules are produced per glucose molecule during glycolysis?
Glucose contains six carbon atoms, whereas pyruvate only contains three, so it is possible to derive two pyruvate molecules (3+3 carbon atoms) from one glucose molecule (=6 carbon atoms). During the early stages of glycolysis, the glucose is converted into Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. This molecule also has six carbon atoms, and is split by an enzyme called 'fructose biphosphate aldolase' into two separate molecules containing three carbon atoms: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. It is the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate that is later converted into pyruvate, accounting for the first pyruvate molecules from glucose. However, the other 3-carbon molecule, dihydroxyacetone phosphate, is kept in equilibium with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate by an enzyme known as 'triose phosphate isomerase', so that this is eventually converted into pyruvate as well. The result being two pyruvate molecules per glucose molecule.
