The Chloroplast uses sunlight energy and Water to make glucose, which then moves to the plant cell mitochondria.
First, H2O and water go into Photosystem II, which processes them, taking out the O2 to leave H. This process happens in the Grana, a liquid in the small, pancake-like stacks called Tylakoids. This H is used to make some ATP and NADPH, which then goes into the Calvin Cycle.
The Calvin Cycle occurs in the Stroma part of the Chloroplast, which is the fluid that surrounds the many Thylakoids. The Calvin Cycle uses three CO2 and three RuBP, which combine using the enzyme Rubisco, to make three six carbon molecules that are unstable and break into two three carbon molecules of three phosphoglycerate(two G3P).
The cycle then uses ATP and NADPH to make G3P, a half-glucose molecule.It then takes a carbon away from two G3P to make two Carbon molecules. each of these are added to one of the remaining three carbon molecules.
The final result is three five carbon molecules of RuBP. Thus, the cycle repeats itself.
