Only uses 8 of the 9 G3P's produced. One G3P is used to make starch/sucrose. Energy Consumption of the Calvin Cycle - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅9 ATP molecules and 6 NADPH molecules for every 3 CO2 molecules that are fixated. Pi-Triose Phosphate Anti-porter - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Maintains Pi balance in cytosol/chloroplast due to G3P export to the cytosol.

Also exports ATP and NADH to the cytosol. Oxygenase Activity in Rubisco - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅O2 competes with CO2 and reacts to form 2- phosphoglycerate Glycolate Cycle - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Process of converting 2-phosphoglycerate to 3- phosphoglycerate in chloroplast, peroxisome, and mitochondria. C4 Plants - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Fix CO2 into PEP to form oxaloacetate (via PEP carboxykinase) that is then converted to malate that carries CO2 to rubisco. Bypasses O2 binding. CAM plants - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Fix CO2 into PEP to form oxaloacetate (via PEP carboxykinase) that is converted to malate at night and stored until the day time. Malonyl-CoA - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Formed from Acetyl-CoA and HCO3 via the Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC). Serves as a regulator of FA catabolism and precursor in FA synthesis. ACC (acetyl-CoA carboxylase) Regulation - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Inhibited by PKA in glucagon chain and activated by pjhosphatase in INSR chain. FAS (Fatty-acid Synthetase) - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Catalyzes condensation, reduction, dehydration, and reduction of growing fatty acid chain. Requires activation by acetyl-CoA or malonyl-CoA Additional Cost of FAS in Eukaryotes - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Acetyl-CoA for lipid synthesis is made in mitochondria and must be transferred into the cytosol via citrate transporter. Costs 2 ATP. Cost of FAS in Eukaryotes - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅3 ATP's per 2 carbon unit added. Phosphatidic Acid - CORRECT ANSWER-✔✔✅Common precursor to TAGs and phospholipids. Consists of a glycerol 3-phosphate with two acyl groups that are attached via acyl transferases.
