How does ATP and NADPH play a role in glucose synthesis by plants?

∙ 12y ago
ATP and NADPH is created from the light-dependent reactions and sent to the Calvin cycle. During the Calvin cycle, 6 CO2 is combined with 6 RuBP by Rubisco to form 12 PGA. Then 12 ATPand 12 NADPH are used to convert 12 PGA to 12 G3P. 2 G3P is used for glucose synthesis while another 6 ATP is used to convert the remaining 10 G3P to 6 RuBP. A total of 18 ATP and 12 NADPH played a role in glucose synthesis during the Calvin cycle.

Why is sunlight important to plant?
Plants make their food by a process called Photosynthesis. In this process, the energy from the sunlight is converted into chemical energy. This process takes place inside the Chlorophyll which is situated inside Chloroplasts. The light energy is utilized for production of NADPH AND ATP molecules. These molecules actually supply all the plant cells with the required energy. The NADPH electron converts the carbon dioxide into G3P which in turn is used to make glucose for the plant. That is why sunlight is important for plants.
What role does the structure of RNA and DNA play in protein synthesis?
mRNA. tRNA,
What role does chlorphyll play in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll's role in photosynthesis is to convert the light energy from the sun to chemical energy. When enough energy strikes chlorophyll, it looses its electrons and thus they are able to move through a transport chain. Their energy is stored in NADPH which is then transferred to glucose.
What do polyribosomes do?
groups of ribosomes reading a single mRNA simultaneously
Why carbon dioxide is important for photosynthesis?
It's important to all life. Starting with plants there is a chain. Plants fix carbon dioxide into starches and sugars during photosynthesis. They use the energy of light to make CO2 and water into sugars. We animals need them to do that so that we can have food and get energy. We digest the sugars and starches produced by plants, in our gut, and that feeds our cells.
What is the center of protein synthesis?
Ribosomes play important role in the protein synthesis.

Does the Golgi body play a major role in protein synthesis?
No. The Golgi bodies do not have a role. The main organelles involed in protein synthesis are the nucleolis, ribosomes, and mitochondria.

What does photosynesis mean?
Photosynthesis (assuming that's what you mean), is when a autotroph, or an organism that is able to make its food, takes in Co2. Then, H20 and the Co2 have a chemical reaction (with the help of light), and glucose is made. The glucose provides energy, and oxygen is a waste product. In plants, chloroplasts play an important role to utilize the light energy using protein. However, bacteria, instead of chlorophyll and chloroplasts, they have plasma membranes.
What is the source of the energy plants use to make carbohydrates the Sun or bacteria or groundwater or organic matter?
The source of the energy plants use to make carbohydrates is the Sun. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy stored in the form of carbohydrates. Bacteria and organic matter play important roles in the decomposition and nutrient cycling processes in ecosystems, but they are not the direct source of energy for carbohydrate synthesis in plants. Groundwater does not directly contribute to the energy production in plants.
The synthesis of these proteins is primarily directed by?
Proteins play a vital role in all cells. In fact, cells need thousands of proteins in order to function properly. The synthesis of these proteins is primarily directed by
What is the age to play Plants vs Zombies?
There is no age limits to play Plants vs. Zombies. But the ideal age to play it is 12 years old.
