Master The-Light Independent Reactions fast ⚡ – clear explanations, OCR-aligned.
You’ll cover
• What the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) are and where they occur in the chloroplast.
• The role of RuBisCO in fixing carbon dioxide by combining CO₂ with RuBP.
• Conversion of GP into TP using ATP and reduced NADP from the light-dependent reactions.
• Regeneration of RuBP so the Calvin cycle can continue.
• How TP can be used to produce larger organic molecules such as glucose, amino acids, fatty acids and glycerol.
What’s included

• Table outlining the key components involved in the Calvin cycle and their roles.
• Diagram showing the roles of substances in three turns of the Calvin cycle.
• Diagram showing the roles of substances in six turns of the Calvin cycle.
