Carbon, in the form of CO2, must be taken from the atmosphere and attached to an existing organic molecule in the Calvin cycle. Therefore, the carbon is bound to the molecule. The products of the cycle only occur because of the added carbon. What are the products of the Calvin cycle and what is regenerated? Based on your understanding of the process of photosynthesis, predict what will happen to a plant leaf that loses CO2 too quickly.

Carbon, in the form of CO2, must be taken from the atmosphere and attached to an existing
organic molecule in the Calvin cycle. Therefore, the carbon is bound to the molecule. The
products of the cycle only occur because of the added carbon. What are the products of the
Calvin cycle and what is regenerated? Based on your understanding of the process of
photosynthesis, predict what will happen to a plant leaf that loses CO2 too quickly.
