| What is the Calvin Cycle also called? | Light-Independent reaction |
| Why is the Calvin cycle called the light-dependent reaction? | Because light does not have to be present to work. |
| What does the Calvin cycle start out with? | Carbon dioxide |
| What happens to the carbon dioxide? | It becomes an unstable 6-carbon molecule |
| What enters after the carbon dioxide is broken down? | Water enters. |
| What does the 6-carbon molecule turn in to? | Two 3-carbon molecules (2PG) |
| What happens to the electron molecues as light strikes the chlorophyll? | Gain energy, and leave the chlorophyll molcule, and as they pass down the electron transport chain, they lose energy, which is used to make ATP. |
| What happens to NADP+? | Electrons along with hydrogen ions from water are added to NADP+ to produce NADPH plus H+. |
| What happens to the (2PG)? | One carbon is released,and the 5-carbon molecule is used for the next cycle, wehn the next carbon is added. |
| What is RubP? | Rubiso is an enzyme that facilitates an unstable 6-carbon compound. |
