Hello,
I don't know what level of biology you are and how detailed your answer should be but i lay out the answers for you and hope that it helps:
1) The Calvin cycle starts with 3 molecules of CO2 and combines with 5 molecules of ribulose 1, 5-bisphosphate (a 5 carbon molecule) to form 6 molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate (a 3 carbon molecule). The next step in the reaction involves conversion of 6 ATP molecules to 6 ADP molecules (this is one of the places that the energy for this reaction is coming from). When energy is ...
