    the energy is stored as ATP. The Dark cycle or Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast.Because there is no light involved in this cycle, the energy to that is needed to complete the cycle come from the Light reaction. The energized electrons from the Light reaction provide the energy to make carbon dioxide atoms and carbohydrates. The ATP and NADPH molecules that are produced from the Light reaction is also used as an energy source in the Calvin cycle.Carbon dioxide and energy combine

    the majority of plant species (Sage, Sage & Kocacinar 2012). In this process CO2 enters the mesophyll cell (mc) via openings in the epidermis called stomata and diffuses into the into the chloroplast where it enters the Calvin cycle (Raven, Evert & Eichhorn 2013). The Calvin cycle is made up of three stages: 1. Carboxylation of Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP). In which a molecule of CO2 is covalently bonded to a molecule of RuBP forming the first stable intermediate 3-Phosphoglycerate. It is from

    Inside of the stroma is the Calvin Cycle. The equation for the Calvin Cycle is NADPH + CO2 + ATP ----- C6H12O6 (sugars). During the Calvin Cycle, CO2 enters and combines with a 5 carbon compound then proceeds to make 3 carbon compounds. 6CO2 then combines with six 5-carbon compounds and creates twelve 3-carbon compounds. Halfway through the cycle, two 3-carbon compounds are removed to produce sugar, which is what Light Independent Reactions

Rubisco is found in the stroma of chloroplast and cytoplasm of photosynthetic bacteria (Keys, 1986). The availability of Rubisco in both plants and archaea-bacteria makes rubisco the most plentiful protein in the world

  • Exploring Photosynthesis: Light-Dependent Reactions and Calvin Cycle

    759 Words  | 2 Pages

    Light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane inside the chloroplasts of the plant. The Calvin cycle occurs in the liquid of the chloroplasts of the plant, called the stroma. The light dependent reactions use water, absorbed through the roots of the plant, carbon dioxide from the air, and light from the sun as the reactants. The Calvin cycle uses NADPH, ATP, and carbon as the reactants. In the light-dependent reactions, the electron released from water travels through the photosystems
