Chapter 10, Problem 7TYU

Summary Introduction

To review:

The relationship between the light-capturing reactions and Calvin cycle to calculate the number of photons used to produce a new G3P and regenerate the RuBP. (Assume 1 ATP is produced for each pair of electrons used to form NADPH.)

Introduction:

The Calvin cycle is a series of chemical reactions that occurs in chloroplasts during photosynthesis. In the light-capturing reactions, energy from light is utilized to produce ATP and NADPH.
