The Dark Reactions of

Photosynthesis in C3
Plants!
SUMMARY!
Light independent reaction – Calvin cycle

• Does not use light energy


• Uses ATP and Reduced NADP from light
dependent reaction
• Fixes atmospheric CO2 into glucose
molecules, using H from reduced NADP
• Takes place in stroma of chloroplast
Calvin cycle
CO2 Enzyme: Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase
(RuBISCO)
C

Unstable intermediate

Calvin Cycle
Let’s watch this video on the CALVIN
CYCLE and add to your notes!
NADP as a hydrogen carrier
• What happens to the NADP produced in the Calvin cycle?

• It returns to the light dependent stage of photosynthesis to collect another


two H atoms (from the photolysis of water)
