Light independent reaction

Carbon Dioxide

Glycerate 3-Phosphate or GP

Triose Phosphate

Ribulose 5-Phosphate

Ribulose Bisphosphate Carboxylase (RuBisCo)

Ribulose Bisphosphate (RuBP)

Triose Phosphate used to create hexose sugars from the calvin cycle's

12ATP + 12 NADPH

12ADP + 12 NADP

6ATP

6ADP

This is the enzyme responsible for fixing carbon to RuBP however it is inhibited by Oxygen

2 molecules of this are formed after the very brief 6 carbon intermediary substance breaks

Comes from the light dependent reactions

6 turns of the carbon cycle are needed to form 1 hexose sugar like glucose

About 1/6 of the triose phosphate goes to hexose sugars the rest is used to resynthesise Ribulose 5-phosphate for RuBp to fix another carbon
