ATP and NADPH power sugar synthesis in the Calvin cycle
• The Calvin cycle occurs in the chloroplast’s stroma – This is where carbon
fixation takes place and sugar is manufactured

Step 1Carbon Fixation
• CO2 is incorporated (fixed) into a five-carbon sugar named ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP).
• The enzyme that does this is RuBP carboxylase or rubisco. – The most abundant protein on Earth.
![Page 6: Calvin Cycle Also know as Calvin – Benson Cycle Light Independent Reactions (Dark Reactions – not a good term as it implies this only occurs at night)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfbf1a28abf838ca31ce/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Step 2Energy consumption
• ATP and NADPH2 (from the light reaction) are used to make the three-carbon precursor that will be used to make glucose and other sugars.

Step 3Glucose
• For every three molecules of CO2 that enter the cycle, the net output is one molecule of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P)
• Used to make Glucose

Step 4Regeneration of RuBP
• ATP is used to regenerate RuBP from G3P

Energy cost of Calvin Cycle
• For each G3P synthesized, the cycle spends:• 9 ATP • 6 NADPH2. • Both are made in the light reaction

• Many plants make more sugar than they need
– The excess is stored in roots, tubers, and fruits
– These are a major source of food for heterotrophs
![Page 13: Calvin Cycle Also know as Calvin – Benson Cycle Light Independent Reactions (Dark Reactions – not a good term as it implies this only occurs at night)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfbf1a28abf838ca31ce/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
C4 and CAM plants have special adaptations that save water
• Most plants are C3 plants, which take CO2 directly from the air and use it in the Calvin cycle
– In these types of plants, stomata on the leaf surface close when the weather is hot
– This causes a drop in CO2 and an increase in O2 in the leaf
– Photorespiration may then occur
• No sugar or ATP

• Due to the increased burning of fossil fuels, atmospheric CO2 is increasing– CO2 warms Earth’s surface by trapping heat in the
atmosphere– This is called the greenhouse effect

• Because photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere, it moderates the greenhouse effect
– Unfortunately, deforestation may cause a decline in global photosynthesis

• The O2 in the atmosphere results from photosynthesis
– Solar radiation converts O2 high in the atmosphere to ozone (O3)
– Ozone shields organisms on the Earth’s surface from the damaging effects of UV radiation
