Detailed explanation-1: -Reduction. In the second stage, ATP and NADPH are used to convert the 3-PGA molecules into molecules of a three-carbon sugar, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P). This stage gets its name because NADPH donates electrons to, or reduces, a three-carbon intermediate to make G3P.
Detailed explanation-2: -ATP and NADPH use their stored energy to convert the three-carbon compound, 3-PGA, into another three-carbon compound called G3P. This type of reaction is called a reduction reaction, because it involves the gain of electrons. A reduction is the gain of an electron by an atom or molecule.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stage 2: Reduction ATP and NADPH are used to convert the six molecules of 3-PGA into six molecules of a chemical called glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P). This is a reduction reaction because it involves the gain of electrons by 3-PGA.
Detailed explanation-4: -ATP and NADPH are used to convert the six molecules of 3-PGA into six molecules of a chemical called glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P). That is a reduction reaction because it involves the gain of electrons by 3-PGA. Recall that reduction is the gain of an electron by an atom or molecule.
Detailed explanation-5: -Reduction. It is the second stage of Calvin cycle. The 3-PGA molecules created through carbon fixation are converted into molecules of simple sugar – glucose. This stage obtains energy from ATP and NADPH formed during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
