Describe the three steps of the Calvin cycle and whenATP and/or NADPH is needed.

The high energy molecules that provide the energy to run the reactions of the Calvin cycle are ______________ and ________________. During the first step in the Calvin cycle, a molecule of carbon dioxide gas binds to a 5-carbon molecule called Ribulose 1,5-biphosphate (RuBP). This step of the Calvin cycle is called: ___________________________. After three carbon dioxide molecules have been fixed to three RuBP and the Calvin cycle completes one turn, the organic molecule that is produced is _______________________. Once two of the molecules from the previous blank have been produced, they can combine to make a single six-carbon __________________________ molecule.

Which of the following would still be possible in a plant with nonfunctional mitochondria in the dark? Select all that apply.   Krebs cycle   Calvin cycle   Oxidative phosphorylation   Cyclic photophosphorylation   Glycolysis   Noncyclic photophosphorylation

Explain why it takes six Calvin cycles to produce a glucose molecule.
