LIR in Stroma

Cards (2)

  • Describe LIR process
    • RUBISCO enzyme fixes CO2 onto RuBP [5C]
    • Makes RuBP more reactive
    • RuBP [6C] splits into 2GP [3C]
    • 2GP reduced into 2TP [3C], by 2NADPH (from LDR), forms 2NADP. Uses 2ATP (from LDR)
    • After 6 cycles, 2TP is used to make 1 glucose [6]
    • 10 TP used to regenerate 6 RuBP, this uses 5ATP
  • Draw Calvin Cycle
