Calvin Cycle


All plants need the Calvin Cycle in order to make sugar molecules. The Calvin Cycle occurs in the stroma of the chloroplasts and it makes sugar molecules using CO2and the energy-rich compound of the light reactions. The Calvin Cycle is one of the two major processes of photosynthesis.






- #103 The Light-independent Reactions (calvin Cycle)
The light-independent reactions take place in the stroma of the chloroplast, where the enzyme ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase, usually known as rubisco, is found. 1. Carbon fixation CO2 diffuses into the stroma from the air spaces within the...

- #100 Chloroplasts
Photosynthesis takes place inside chloroplasts. These are organelles surrounded by 2 membranes, called an envelope. Chloroplasts are found in mesophyll cells in leaves: - Palisade mesophyll cells contain most chloroplasts. - Spongy...

- #99 Photosynthesis Overview
Photosynthesis is a series of reactions in which energy transferred as light is transformed to chemical energy. Energy from light is trapped by chlorophyll, and this energy is then used to ? split apart the strong bonds in water molecules to release...

- #98 Photosynthesis Syllabus
13.1  Photosynthesis as an energy transfer process 13.2  Investigation of limiting factors 13.3  Adaptations for photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the energy transfer process that  is the basis  of much  of life on Earth....

- Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration
Photosynthesis is the processes of converting carbon dioxide and water, using light energy, into glucose and oxygen. Plants, algae, and certain prokaryotes capture about 1% of the energy in the sunlight that reaches Earth and convert it to chemical energy...
