| Front | Describe the stages of light independent reaction |
|---|---|
| Back | Carbon dioxide enters through stomata and dissolves into water and diffuses across cell surface membrane and into the stroma Carbon dioxide reacts with ribulose bisphosphate which is catalyzed by enzyme ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (rubisco) and produces x2 glycerate 3-phosphate Reduced NADP reduces glycerate 3-phosphate to triose phosphate using energy from ATP NADP reformed and goes back to light dependent reaction to be reduced again Some triose phosphate used to produce organic materials such as glucose Most triose phosphate used to regenerate ribulose bisphosphate using ATP from light dependent reaction |
