What We Did That Day 3/3
- went over the products of the Calvin Cycle
- learned that PGAL is the same as G3P
- learned the 3 phases of the Calvin Cylce: Carbon Fixation, Reduction, Regeneration of CO2 Acceptor
- learned that G3P is used to make carbohydrates such a glucose

My Thoughts On The Class
- the Calvin Cycle is pretty complex and a really important part of photosynthesis
- it's interesting that one cycle requires light while the other one can continue without
- in my opinion, it might have been easier for me to learn about photosynthesis if we'd learned about it first
  instead of cellular respiration

Above And Beyond

- above, a diagram of CR

- above, a diagram of photosynthesis

- put these two above diagrams together and you have the two most important cycles in life

- here is a link explaining about G3P and the other names it can go by: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G3P
