    The Calvin cycle is explained in this video in a very basic but informative manner. This video taught me a lot about its purpose, the stages involved in producing glucose and oxygen, and the raw materials required for this process. I also learned that this cycle produces energy throughout your life, making it an important part of our daily lives. The two raw materials that are used in this procedure are CO2 and RuBP. The enzyme binds one carbon molecule to RuBP, giving rise to six carbon sequences. In this sequence, each of the three carbons is broken into two phosphoglycerates, or PGAs. ATP then generates electricity by attaching hydrogen to each PGA and converting it to G3P. The cycle includes 36 carbon atoms, of which 30 carbon (10 G3Ps) are used to recreate the whole process while the remaining 6 are used to make glucose. This shows that this cycle pretty much sustains itself by reusing the 30 carbon as a starting material to keep the cycle working.

Perhaps the grading system is different from where you are, but I'd say things like these should be approached by grade 10 or 11 only.

  • @angelalabaniego6912
    @angelalabaniego6912 2 роки тому +4

    I like how the video represents the process of the second step of photosyntesis, the Calvin Cycle, in a factory-like setting. It makes the process more relatable to the audience, as they are familiar with what happens inside a factory. It explains the processes that happen in the chloroplast and how they turn the carbon gas into a six-carbon solid like glucose. While I've heard the terms mentioned once or many times before, they are still very profound to me. This makes it difficult to remember and easily forgotten if not properly discussed.
    Now onto the processes involved. The video shows the steps nicely in a way that a learner who is studying photosynthesis for the first time can easily understand the lesson. The thing that I really learned, and I think sticks to me the most, is that it is efficient that the Calvin Cycle and other cycles produce and reuse the elements they need in the process. As stated by the video, if these processes are linear, it will require more time and work to manufacture the things nature relies upon.

    This video helped me a lot to understand the Calvin Cycle. I had a bit of hard time of understanding the middle part but as I kept on watching I came to understand it too. I realized that the photosynthesis is a actually a hard, complex, busy and have a repeated Cycle which helps us gain energy that we need. The enzyme Rubisco starts the cycle by receiving Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and 5 carbons (RuBP) which results as 6 carbons. The 6 carbons needs to split into 2 chains which contains 3 carbons each or known as PGAs. ATP sends energy to PGAs and NaDPH send hydrogen each PGAs which makes it 3 Phosphates or G3Ps. G3Ps will now form the Glucose as it needs 6 carbons that the G3Ps has but there is not only have one production place. There are 5 more which gives much more RuBP that they can create G3Ps for the Glucose and that is how we receive our energy through Calvin Cycle

Also in the video also mention the 2 steps in Photosynthesis, The energy form by the sun, and Calvin Cycle. I also learn it's function. Calvin Cycle is important in our environment & other species.

The calvin cycle's role is to produce organic compounds that plants require and i learned that the Calvin cycle is a portion of photosynthesis, the process by which plants and other autotrophs convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into nutrition and Calvin cycle is essential to all living things on Earth. For energy and nourishment, plants rely on the Calvin cycle. Herbivores, for example, rely on plants for food, therefore they are indirectly dependent on it. Carnivores, for example, rely on the Calvin cycle to survive. They wouldn't be able to exist without it since they wouldn't have food, energy, or nutrition.

      @sylvestergharold7265 3 роки тому +3

      Not quite. The other half to photosynthesis is using light itself as a power source to power the Calvin cycle.
      The important bits of the light-dependent reactions are as follows: chlorophyll is used to absorb light energy which then splits water into oxygen gas and hydrogen (the oxygen leaving to enter the atmosphere). The hydrogen ions then get attached to ADP and NADP+ which are transformed into their energized forms, ATP and NADPH. The energy in these molecules are then used to power the Calvin cycle like shown in the video.

      even when you used this videos in class the main problem is the lack of attention of the students. to a degree. you came to watch this video, paid attention and were interested in it so you learn. if the video was force upon you then depending on your attitude you may not paid attention you might be distracted by class mate ect also you can pause and repeat by yourself the video.

    This video gave me some knowledge about the Calvin Cycle. The Calvin Cycle is one of two types of Photosynthesis that captures carbon and turns it into sugar. I learned well in this video its proceeding starting raw materials. Starting with CO2 and RuBP, next are the PGAs, enter ATP which delivers energy and the NADPH attches hydrogen and produces G3p. This is followed by the production of glucose or sugar. Sugar is important in our daily lives because it provides energy to our body.

    In this topic I've learned what is Calvin cycle and how it works. Calvin cycle is very important not just for me but for all living things. It is the process were the algae and other plants use to make carbon dioxide from air to glucose (sugar). It is also gave energy to our food example in the video. This lesson give me the idea on what is Calvin cycle and I learned a lot.

    • @tresnamathurin2780

      they actually do because the first molecule that is formed glycerate 3 phosphate (PGA) is an acid and therefore the COO ion which comes from the CO2 is needed .

    This video helped me understand the Calvin cycle better by explaining me a lot about it. It explains the Calvin cycle and how it functions. I've also learned about its stages. I also realized that all living creatures on the planet require the Calvin cycle. Photosynthesis is the process through which plants and other autotrophs transform sunlight and carbon dioxide into food. They would, on the other hand, be unable to survive in the absence of food and energy.

I also learned the 3 stages of the process of carbons and its description. I also learned ATP and NADPH are used to fox the carbon into sugar. Watching this was the easiest way to learn more about the calvin cycle. And this is a big help to understand the Photosynthesis and how it works with the second step.

    This short video lecture taught me a lot about how the Calvin Cycle works, and everything from the animation to the manner it was delivered made the subject more intriguing and understandable.
    This lesson taught me about the second stage of photosynthesis, also known as the "Calvin Cycle," which is the emphasis of the lesson. The light-independent reaction is another name for the Calvin Cycle. Calvin Cycle, as described in the video, functions as a sustainable production line with three primary stages: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration. CO2 and RuBP are the two raw materials that are utilized. The enzyme binds one carbon
    molecule to RuBP, resulting in six carbon
    sequences. This sequence's three carbons
    are divided into two phosphoglycerates, or
    PGAS. ATP then generates energy as
    NADPH attaches hydrogen to each PGA
    and converts it to G3P. It also showed
    how long the cycle can last if enough
    carbon is present. The cycle produces 36
    carbons, 6 of which are used to produce
    glucose while the remaining 30 are returned to the cycle as starting material. Every living organism on Earth, especially plants, is reliant on the Calvin cycle to produce energy and food, as I've discovered. Furthermore, I not only learned about the process, but I also recognized its importance in our daily life, since it provides us with general and other essentials by utilizing minerals present on Earth.

  • @libertyfaithlomaad3465
    @libertyfaithlomaad3465 2 роки тому

    This video taught me about the calvin cycle and how it works. It was very detailed and helped me understand it better. The Calvin cycle extracts carbon molecules from the air and converts them to plant stuff. Because plants are at the bottom of the energy pyramid in most ecosystems, the Calvin cycle is critical for their survival. In the second stage of photosynthesis, ATP and NADPH are used to fix carbon into sugars.
