Question

Arrange the following sequence of events in the correct order for the Calvin cycle: ATP is consumed in a reaction that yields 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate. CO2 is fixed by reaction with ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate, catalyzed by Rubisco. The unstable intermediate of this reaction is immediately cleaved into two molecules of 3-phosphogycerate. NADPH is employed to prepare glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate is regenerated.

Answer 1

The correct order of the following events of the calvin cycle is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 CO2 is fixed by reaction with ribulose-1,5-bis phosphate catalysed by rubisco .

2 The unstable intermediates of this reaction is immediately cleaved into two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate.

3 ATP is consumed in a reaction that yields 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate.

4 NADPH is employed to prepare glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate .

5 Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate is regenerated.
