Calvin Cycle Diagram Labelled. B reduction which consumes atp nadph produced during primary photochemical re action and converts 3 pga into 3 phosphoglyceraldehyde. All living organisms on earth have carbon present in their systems.
The calvin cycle reactions figure 2 can be organized into three basic stages. In the first stage chemical reactions use energy from light to produce atp and nadph. B reduction which consumes atp nadph produced during primary photochemical re action and converts 3 pga into 3 phosphoglyceraldehyde.
In other words 75 of the carbon lost by oxygenation of rubp is recovered and 25 is lost as release of one molecule of co 2.
Carbon is an essential component that makes up the complex molecules of various organisms humans included. This process of carbon fixation is how most new organic matter is created. In other words 75 of the carbon lost by oxygenation of rubp is recovered and 25 is lost as release of one molecule of co 2. All living organisms on earth have carbon present in their systems.
