Overview What is the goal of the light reactions, the ETC? To use H2O and sunlight to build a proton gradient. To build a proton gradient. What is the goal of Chemiosmosis, ATP Synthase? To use the proton gradient to make ATP. What is the goal of the Calvin Cycle? To use the ATP from the light reactions and CO2 to make Glucose. To make Glucose. Calvin Cycle • Carbon Fixation (light independent reaction) • Occurs in the stroma • Uses ATP and NADPH from light reaction as energy • Uses CO2 • To produce glucose: it takes • 6 turns and uses 18 ATP • and 12 NADPH.
