Visualizing The Cyclical Nature Of Carbon Fixation
Visualizing The Cyclical Nature Of Carbon Fixation — a labelled NEET Biology diagram with a definitions lexicon.
Visualizing the cyclical nature of carbon fixation. Labelled parts: Calvin cycle, 3-PGA, Glucose, NADPH, CO 2 entering, ext RuBP accepting it, formation 3-PGA, subsequent use ATP. This cycle occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast and uses the ATP and NADPH generated during the light reactions to fix CO a ‚‚ into stable organic molecules (G3P). It is the primary pathway for sugar synthesis. FYI: The Calvin cycle has three phases: CO a ‚‚ fixation (using RuBP), reduction (using NADPH), and regeneration (of RuBP). 3-Phosphoglyceric acid is the first stable 3-carbon intermediate formed when CO2 reacts with RuBP in the presence of RuBisCO. FYI: It is the discovery of this molecule by Melvin Calvin that gave the C3 cycle its name. A six-carbon monosaccharide that serves as the primary respiratory substrate for cellular energy production. FYI: It is known as the 'blood sugar' and is the most common organic molecule on Earth. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate is a coenzyme used as a reducing agent in the biosynthetic phase of photosynthesis. FYI: NADPH is produced during the non-cyclic photophosphorylation of the light reaction.
