Phase 2: The Calvin Cycle
• a.k.a The Dark
Reactions

Products of Phase 1 are used in Phase 2
• ATP Energy• NADPH e-
(electrons)

Stage 2: Calvin Cycle
• Purpose: • Make sugar by reducing carbon dioxide (adding e-)
• Location:• Stroma of chloroplast

Stage 2: Calvin Cycle
• Requires: ATP*• Electrons (NADPH)*
• CO2
• Enzymes

Stage 2: Calvin Cycle
• Produces • Glucose

A brief note about Rubisco
• Enzyme that attaches CO2 to 5-carbon compound in Calvin cycle
• Most abundant protein on the earth!• Rate limiting – a slow enzyme (~ 3 /
sec.)• Genetic engineers trying to make a
more efficient Rubisco

Calvin Cycle
1. CO2 enters cycle by becoming attached to a 5-Carbon RuBP
2. produces 6-carbon molecule (unstable)
3. Breaks into two 3-carbon molecules

Calvin Cycle
4.Energy is used (ATP ADP)
5.Electrons used (NADPH NADP+)
6. 3-Carbon compound leaves Calvin cycle

Calvin Cycle
7. Two 3-Carbon groups combine to become glucose
8. Remaining 3-Carbon groups continue through cycle to regenerate starting 5-Carbon RuBP
9. Six CO2 to produce 1 glucose(6 turns of the cycle required)

Important molecules are recycled
• ATP ADP
• NADPH NADP+
• 5-Carbon RuBP recycles
