My Biology exam is next week, what a lifesaver! And is it weird that I was listening to this song while I was revising? :3
-
Doesnt Co2 combines with 5 carbon compound
-
whats gp!!!
-
thanks for this! perfectly simplified - and the song is calming my nerves a bit for the test in 2 hours
-
Wow thanks you're a ledge (: (: (:
-
@chxdst agree :(

Can you explain to me the bit about TP forming glucose on every 6th turn of the cycle. I cant work out the numbers in my head, does every turn of the cycle start with the 12 CO2 and 12 RUBP?

Yeah, sorry about that. This is actually 6 turns of the cycle, the reason i did it like this is so i could show that glucose is made once every 6 turns. Each cycle starts with 1 CO2 (1C) and 1 RuBP (5C) which form 2 GP (2x3C), then 2 TP (2x3C) which can then either make 1 glucose (6C) or 1 RuBP (5C).
Hope thats helped. :)

Yeah it really does =]
So the 6CO2 enters the stroma just from the atmosphere? and reacts with the 6RuBP that is already there? then they react to form 12GP which are 3 molecules of 12 carbons?
is it only the ATP and reduced NADPH that comes from the light dependent reaction to help make 12 GP into 12 TP? is that right?

Noooooo! There are 12 molecules of GP, each with 3 carbons.
And yeah, youre right about the rest of it, its only ATP and NADPH + H+ that are from the LDR. :)
