The enzyme that catalyzes this step is RuBP carboxylase‚ or rubisco. The product of the reaction is a six carbon intermediate so unstable that it immediately splits in half to form two molecules of 3-phoshpyglycerate (for each CO2) Phase 2: Reduction Each molecule of 3-phsophoglycerate receives an additional

Organic molecules are the molecules of life that include Carbon and Hydrogen. Organic molecules consist of four important classes which are lipids‚ carbohydrates‚ proteins and nucleic acids. The most important organic molecule is Carbon. Carbon can form with up to 4 different atoms to form chains‚ rings and branches. Organic molecules also contain monomers. Monomers are the “building blocks” of macromolecules. Macromolecules are made up by chains of monomers‚ these are called polymers. Continuing
