Question

In the process of carbon fixation, three molecules of RuBP combine with three molecules of CO2 to produce three six-carbon molecules, which are then split to produce 12 molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate. After phosphorylation and reduction produce 12 glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P), what more needs to happen to complete the Calvin cycle?

Answer 1

Answer:

what is needed to be done is reduction of the 12 glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate,  in presence of NADPH, and hydrolysis of ATP to produce 2 molecules of triose phosphate.(TP). The point of carbohydrate production in photosynthesis.

Statistically 5/6 of the TP is used to regenerate RuBP,for the cycle to continue, while the remaining 1/6 is for production of other molecules; glucose, Amino acids and lipids.

This marks the end of Calvin Cycle.
