Nature’s Smallest Factory
- Energy exists in the form of ____________________ made by the plant.
- Plants get their carbon from the __________________.
- Photosynthesis occurs in two steps, the second is the _____________________.
- RuBP contains __________ carbons.
- The enzyme, _________________________ builds an initial 6 carbon sequence.
- This sequence split into two short chains called _________.
- NADPH transfers a __________________ to those molecules, they become G3P.
Glucose needs 6 carbons to form, made from two molecules G3P. Sugar has been manufactured, but not quite….. - The original RuBP must be _________________________.
- How many production lines are going on at the same time? _____
- How many carbons exist from all of these production lines? ______
- How many of these are used to make glucose? _____ To make RuBP? ______
- The molecular mix and match ensures that _______ RuBP are regenerated.
