The Light reactions - Converts light energy to chemical energy (ATP & NADPH) - Produces O2 from breakdown of water
The Calvin cycle - uses ATP & NADPH from light reaction to assemble sugar
molecules from CO2

A Comparison of Chemiosmosis in Chloroplasts and Mitochondria
• Chloroplasts and mitochondria generate ATP by chemiosmosis, using different sources of energy
• Mitochondria transfer chemical energy from
food to ATP; chloroplasts transform light energy into the chemical energy of ATP

The Calvin Cycle
• Uses ATP and NADPH • CO2 enters the cycle and leaves as a 3C
sugar, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P).
• Regenerates RuBP

• Terrestrial plants face dehydration. • The stomata close to limit loss of water. • This limits amount of CO2 while O2 production continues • A wasteful process called photorespiration • On a hot dry day photorespiration drains 50% of the carbon
that could be fixed by the Calvin Cycle.

Photorespiration
Rubisco can use both O2 and CO2 as substrates and can catalyze a wasteful reaction known as photorespiration when O2 is the substrate.
O2 and organic fuel are consumed without
producing sugar Photorespiration is an evolutionary relic

• In most plants (C3 plants), initial fixation of CO2, via rubisco, forms a three-carbon compound
• In C3 plants, a drop in CO2 and rise in O2 when stomata close on hot dry days divert the Calvin cycle to photorespiration
