Using Carbon from CO2, energy from ATP, and high-energy electrons from NADPH, the Calvin Cycle constructs an energy-rich sugar molecule called glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate (G3P). The plant cell can then use G3P as the raw material to make the glucose and other organic compounds that it needs. This occurs within the stroma of a chloroplast.

What Stage of photosynthesis is sugar is made?

Sugar is made during the Calvin cycle, which is the second stage of photosynthesis. In this stage, carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using energy from ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions.


What is the Calvin cycle?

The Calvin cycle is the dark reaction in plants, that results in formation of the glucose molecule. The Calvin Cycle synthesizes G3P Basically, Photosynthesis is divided up into the Light reactions and the Calvin Cycle. The "photo" part is the light reaction part, and the "synthesis" is the Calvin Cycle. The Calvin Cycle's whole existence is to produce sugar. It does this with incorporating CO2 to eventually produce G3P, a sugar that can go on to make glucose etc... The Calvin cycle is powered by NADPH and ATP, which come from the light reactions. Of course this is a simplified version, as there are a number of intermediate molecules, but the idea is the same.For more info I would recommend reading Campbell and Reece (6th ed, 2005)


The Calvin cycle makes direct use of to make?

The Calvin cycle makes direct use of carbon dioxide (CO2) to make organic compounds, primarily glucose. This process occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts and requires ATP and NADPH generated from the light reactions of photosynthesis.


Where is glucose made in the Calvin cycle -This was a question on my HW please don't say it's incorrect. I just need the answer.?

Ah, one very common misconception in biology. Glucose IS NOT made in the Calvin cycle. The Calvin cycle fixes carbon---takes the uber-stable CO2 and turns it into a form of carbon that can later be used to form sugars. The final product of the Calvin cycle that is eventually converted into sugar and cellulose is glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.


Why is the Calvin cycle helpful?

The Calvin cycle is in plants and it works in conjunction with the photosystems that obtain energy from the sun. This energy is used in the Calvin cycle for plants to( utilize carbon dioxide precursors in the atmosphere) to make sugars,starches, and such that the plant needs to live and grow.

What is he role of the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis?

The Calvin cycle is a metabolic pathway found in the stroma of the chloroplast in which carbon enters in the form of CO2 and leaves in the form of sugar.The cycle spends ATP as an energy source and consumes NADPH2 as reducing power for adding high energy electrons to make the sugar.


What part of photosyhthesis produces sugar?

the Calvin cycle of the dark reaction


Why doesn't the Calvin Cycle require light?

The Calvin cycle does not require light because it uses ATP and NADPH produced from the light reactions to produce sugar. ATP and NADPH power the reaction to produce sugar from CO2
