Carbon Calvin Cycle Unstable 3 Carbon Molecules Co2 Diffuses

In the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide combines with RuBP, catalyzed by RuBisCO, to form organic molecules.

Kalvin siklida karbonat angidrid RuBisCO fermenti yordamida RuBP bilan birikib, organik moddalar hosil qiladi.

calvin cycle
- CO2 diffuses through stoma, and into stroma (where it combines with RuBP, which is 5 carbon compound, which fixes c in CO2, and so it can be incorperated into organic molecules) to form unstable 6 carbon intermediate, catalysed by RuBisCO, which is competitevely inhibited by O2, and so lots needed (meaning its inefficient)

- the unstable 6 carbon compound immediately breaks down into 2 3-carbon GP molecules (glycerate-3-phosphate), using H2 from reduced NADP and ATP to supply energy, it forms 2 3-carbon TP molecules (triose phosphate)
