"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.

How many pgal molecules can there be during the Calvin cycle?

During the Calvin cycle, one molecule of 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA) is produced for every carbon dioxide molecule fixed. Thus, the number of 3-PGA molecules present during the Calvin cycle depends on the number of carbon dioxide molecules fixed in the process.

In the stroma


During the Calvin cycle, how many G3P molecules are required to regenerate RuBP?

During the Calvin cycle, three molecules of G3P are required to regenerate one molecule of RuBP.


Is it true that the main products of the Calvin cycle are six carbon dioxide molecules?

No, the main products of the Calvin cycle are three-carbon molecules (3-phosphoglycerate) that are eventually used to regenerate RuBP (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate) to continue the cycle. Carbon dioxide is actually used in the Calvin cycle to form these three-carbon molecules.

What is the reactant in the Calvin cycle?

The reactant in the Calvin cycle is carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide is fixed and converted into organic molecules, such as glucose, through a series of enzymatic reactions in the Calvin cycle.


Which two molecules are high energy molecules produced in the light dependent reactions and consumed in the Calvin cycle?

The two high energy molecules are ATP and NADPH. These molecules are produced in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis and are then utilized in the Calvin cycle for the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose.


How many co2 are released during Calvin cycle?

co2 isn't released in the Calvin cycle it takes in 3 co2 to produce one G3P molecule and does that twice to produce C6H12O6
