THE STORY OF CALIVN THE HELPFUL CYCLE

Calvin was a lonely cycle. No one liked him at first. He had 3 friends CO2, RuBP, and Rubisco. When they were all together Calvin made 6 new friends all called 3PGA.

ATP also entered the friendship. Because ATP came along and was so energetic, NADPH came to. Altogether Calvin's were 6 G3Ps. One time they were all hanging out

and Calvin gave out sugar. This news went around to the other ATPs and important molecules. The G3Ps Calvin still had stayed and some new RuBP came. but since

Calvin didn't make new sugar right away the extra molecules went away, except for CO2, RuBP, and Rubisco. So the story starts all over again about Calivn the helpful cycle

Once upon a time, there were three hair stylists; RuBp, RuBisCo, and C2O. Together they opened a salon called 3-PGA. They met with their rivals, ATP and NADPH. When they have a hair stand-off,  they form 6G3P. Only one gets to come out as a winner and leaves the salon. The remaining losers join together with ATP one again and reset as RuBp. Then the cycle starts all over and they go back to fighting

From the sun, comes a photon of light

It lands on the chlorophyll, as if it was on a flight

There, at PS 2, the electrons are waiting

Waiting to get hit by a photon, eagerly anticipating

Once it does, it gets so excited

It travels to the PEA, all up in a riot

Then, it goes through a series of reactions

Goes down the ETC and energy is subtracted

Finally, it gets hit by another photon of light

Joins NADP+ so things are alright

It also joins NADPH

The H molecule comes from a different place

The H molecule comes from the splitting of water

It does this everyday and it's not even bothered

Not to mention, oxygen is released

It's there for us so we can breathe and be at ease

Finally, NADPH and ATP is stored in ATP synthase

For the Calvin Cycle to use later, and begin another phase

Tina, Juls and Kass, 3 very close friends, (CO2 molecules), go and meet up with their other friends. Their names were Sarah, Victoria,and Lexi. ( 5 carbon molecule). However; they got into a fight and split up into 2 groups. ( 2 -3 carbon molecules called 3-PGA) Both of the groups finally reunited again and became one. ( G3P) . The only reason they got back together was because they got each other christmas gifts ( phosphate) for the secret santa organization for their school. (ATP and NADPH) Sadly, Sarah had to leave because she had to go work in her dad's restraunt in Italy to make pasta. (carbs). The rest of the friends remained a clique and added another friend to replace Sarah. (Phosphate). Then they started over with the new friend.

Once upon a time, there was an electron named Jordan. he was camping on Calvin Island, where lots of things happen.

First Thing that happened: He saw the sun and jumped from excitement. He then got sucked up by some quick sand and suddenly became really tired. Once he got to the bottom of the sand, There was a passage. In there, it was a portal thing where you can gain energy. As he kept going on the passage, he found another portal that made sugars. And as he kept moving forward, he found the ocean full of water(H20). In Conclusion, he found his way out of the portal and back to the island for more camping. The End

The Little Boy Who Ran by Himself Through a Mall Just for a Sugar Rush

The little boy (electron) craved some candy (sunlight) and decided he put some in his mouth (Photosystem ll). The sugar rush made him super energized right away! He ran out of candy store and into the elevator (primary electron acceptor) of the mall, without a care at all. The elevator doors opened and he hopped on the escalator (electron transport train). By this time the boy was tired, the sugar rush gone. But what was this in his sight, another candy store! The boy popped more candy (sunlight) on his mouth and ran outside again. The boy then finds and joins his mom (NADP+) inside a store. He gives her a great big hug and they combine together (NADPH) in the embrace. Together they walked out the doors (ATP synthase) of Macy's where they hopped in their car (ATP) and headed home (Calvin Cycle).

Photosynthesis, Photosynthesis this is how we get our air.

Plants take in water, sun, and CO2, to make the sugar they use for food.

They can put oxygen into the air because they care.

Solar energy is changed to chemical

All the time the process is identical

in all plants and all trees

its easy to see

Photosynthesis, photosynthesis this is how we get our air

lets look at the light reactions

when light is captured it is changed to a chemical with lots of action

electrons get excited flowing so fast you could have missed them

The thylakoid membrane is where this all  happens

ATP and NADPH

These are the products of the dependent reactions

There are these workers that work for a flower making company. They have a big factory where they spend their days watching flowers grow, making sure the process goes correctly. The workers open up the sun roofs in the morning, allowing the sun to hit the rows of flowers. After the light has hit the rows, they open up oxygen panels that allow just the right amount to be distributed. After a while, the flowers will slowly begin to get their red and blue and green color. The transport chain is when the flowers have bloomed and each worker takes the time to go down the rows carefully picking each flower. A delivery truck comes and picks up the flowers, dropping them off at each market to be sold. While in the truck, the flowers lose some energy, and must have it be restored with water and more sunlight. Once they reach the store, they are set in a place allowing them to be fully restored, and ready to be sold.

Pollen Dale !

In another dimension, it was a sunny day in Pollen Dale where all the plant cells frolicked happy with no worry. A plant cell decided to have a party, and so they did! The party provided sunlight punch which everyone loved and were absorbed by their chlorophyll. All the sunlight punch stuffed in their systems caused transfers of electrons and H+ and resulted into poop turds of O2 and an H+ ion. The O2 is polluted out of Pollen Dale and into our world, but it’s not over yet. The H+ sees NADP+ in the dance floor and they start to fall in love, creating NADPH. While H+ and NADP+ is bonding it up, ATP is being formed through photophosphorylation. The NADPH and ATP is then prepped for part 2! Tune in next time for the next sequel...... The Calvin Cycle !

The process of light reactions is just like any other morning day. First I become awakened by the sun (PS2) then I "the excited electron" and then go inside my pantry (primary electron acceptor) then walk through the hall (electron transport chain) to my bedroom to get dressed for soccer practice. Walking back to my bedroom has made me lose energy so then when I turn my light on I become more energized (PS1) . When I leave my room (NADP+) and then walk to soccer practice (NADPH) I become more energized and when I start practice I exert energy (ATP Synthase). And that's how the process of light reactions is processed demonstrated by my example of a morning practice.

the Calvin Cycle, also known as the dark reaction does not need sun light. Starting the cycle is CO2. the plant sucks in this element from the air.
Next in the cycle is RuBP+RuBisCO. Third in the cycle is ATP+NADPH from the light reaction and 3PDA. forth in the cycle is G3P. continuing on with
the cycle, one G3P leaves as sugar. the rest of the G3P continue on and add up with ATP creating ATP+G3P. the cycle then ends with rubisco.

At school it was really hot which always gets me excited for some reason(sunlight hitting electron). So I headed to my classroom(Primary Electron Acceptor) and lost my energy as I spent time in the air-condition(Electron Transport Chain).At the end of the period, I went out to lunch to obtain my energy again(Photosystem l). I left the lunch tables(leaving Photosystem l) to get chips(NAD+) and fruit snacks(NADPH). As I head back to the lunch tables, the intercom comes on and announces my name and asks for me to go to the office due to a Doctors appointment. My parents take me out of school(ATP Synthase). Later, I came back to school and brought water balloons for a pre-game celebration(water entering the cell). But sadly I dropped the water balloons making the oxygen be released into the air and water run down the side of the curb(water is separated and oxygen is released into the air and Hydrogen heads to Photosystem ll).

Zap was just enjoying a nice warm summer day in his home of the chloroplast until he noticed he was getting an abnormal amount of energy, like drinking red bull mixed with coffee after taking ten shots of five hour energy kind of energy. Next thing he knew he was crashing all over the place, and crashed out of his home (ps2). Now Zap found that he was being transported somewhere by a mysterious form od transportation (primary electron transport). Zap hoped he was heading towards Hogwarts, or Narnia, or any other made up land like that #booklover/nerd. Anyway, after his journey ended he felt drained so he took a little power nap (ps1). After waking up reenergized he found some weirdo had been watching him the whole time. "Hi, my name is NAPD+" said the mysteriously mysterious figure "You created me... father." After hearing the news Zap drank a big tall glass of water and decided it was his time to go, but not without giving his apparent new "son" something as a memory of his super awesome fantastic dad, Zap left NAPD+ a hydrogen molecule. NAPD+ loved this gift so much that he changed his name to NAPDH in honor of his father who did really absolutely nothing useful in his life.

On the first step of the Calvin Cycle 3 CO2 molecules

disfuse into the stroma

and combine with R_Uuu_B_P.

This molecule is very unstable

and it quickly splits,

into two 3 PGAs.

On the second step of the Calvin Cycle each 3 PGA

receives a phosphate group,

from ATP,

and a proton from NADPH,

and is converted into another G3P.

On the third step of the Calvin Cycle one of the G3Ps

leaves the Calvin Cycle,

makes carbohydrates,

which are stored fo-or la-a-ter use.

On the last step of the Calvin Cycle the remaining G3Ps

add phosphate groups,

from ATP,

and are converted back,

into R-U-B-P,

and the Calvin Cycle be-gins a-gain.

One beautiful, sunny day, a ray of sunlight, or perhaps even love struck a lonely household (chloroplast) owned by a heartbroken woman (PS II). With this new sunshine that was cast upon her, a wonderful gift came to her doorstep. It was a child (electron) that helped fill her lonesome heart. The child was looking for a loving mother and had found one. Because of this, he got rather excited. That evening, the new mother got her title taken away by her ex-husband because she had not included custody over this new child. He was taken to a gas station (Primary Electron Acceptor) to fill up the tank and continue away from the mother. On the long highway (Electron Transporter Chain), both, father and child grew tired. They stopped by a convenient motel (PS I) to regain strength. That morning, the child realized their father wasn't bad at all. They grew excited again and went out on a drive to start to their father's household. Meanwhile, when the mother realized what had happened to her beloved child, she grew angry. She decided to go to another unfortunate family (water molecule). She split the parents from their child for her own (hydrogen and oxygen for electron). Those parents split. The father went to a better place (oxygen is released) and the mother wandered about as a lonely widow (hydrogen atoms). Back to the original father and child, the two finally form an unbreakable bond (NADP+). Without a mother, though, the child will be limited to growth development. The father and the widow meet and together, with a child, create a loving family (NADPH).

(To the tune of Pop Goes the Weasel)

CO2 diffuses into the stroma where it combines with carbon. Its very excited so in result, it splits into 2 molecules.

3-PGA they are called then they receive a phosphate group from ATP and a proton from NADPH.

This turns them into G3P later removed from the Cycle. They turn to carbs and store for use or go to the beginning.

PSII is like a field full of young lacrosse players. The photons are the little guys on the field playing the fastest game on two feet. Let's focus on the goalie, though. As the ball comes at the goalie and he saves it, we can say he absorbed a beam of sunlight. Saving the shot, the goalie becomes energized and plays extremely well throughout the tournament. The tournament comes to an end and he gets to play in the championship game, in other words the Primary Electron Acceptor. As the young goalie's team wins the championship, he loses his energy and is sent into offseason training, relating to the electron transport chain. As he completes the long journey of offseason training, he enters high school level lacrosse [PSI]. His first game he saves a lot of shots; we can then say he absorbed many beams of sunlight and became energized once again. Throughout his high school career, he plays amazing and is D1 bound. He is then scouted by Notre Dame [NAD+] and becomes a great goalie, one of the best in college lacrosse [NADPH]. He then finally advances into college level lacrosse which is ATP Synthase. He completes his college career and leaves behind his childhood/teenage lacrosse career [Thylakoid] for bigger things. He then transforms into a well respected and very important goalie in the MLL [ATP].

As he walks to the Krusty Krab (PSI), he gets very tired. At the Krusty Krab, he photosynthesizes during his shift (the sun) and gains more energy. Spongebob leaves the Krusty Krab, and his yellow and red patties combine to look orange. (yellow=NADP orange= NADPH) Spongebob begins to sell his orange patties. Spongebob's grandma (ATP Synthase) comes and comes to support his business and buys red patties. Then, her EXISTING green patties turned pink.

Once there was a little boy named Electron (His mom was hopped up anesthetics when she named him). Anyway, Electron was really excited because he was in Disneyland (Photosystem 2). It was so fun and had all these cool rides (Sunlight), In fact, he was so excited, he ventured off on his own without his mom's permission. He was too busy on his phone taking selfies with the characters to accept any of his moms calls. He was then next to take a picture with Mickey Mouse! Mickey seemed super cool and Elecron really liked him. Then Mickey kneeled down to him and said, "Wanna have a...good time?" This really creeped out Electron, but Mickey had candy, and if all he had to do to get candy was to go in an old white rusty van with a Mickey who wont even take off his mask to show who he really was, the by golly he was gonna start hoping in some vans(ETC)! He had a bag over his head so he couldnt see where he was going , but he had the company of poisioned candy by his side so he didn't care. When he got out, he could finally make out a few things, Like Mickey's mask was off and it was Walt Disney! His frozen body was brought back to life by a few creepy scientists who obviously likes Disney movies too much. He finally sees his destination. "Disney World!"(Photosystem 1), Walt said with excitement. "Meh", said Electron "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?"

"Dude, No one likes Disney World"

"We got Epcot!"

"No"

"Animal Kingdom"

"No"

"Oh come on, i worked really hard on this!"

"You mean you told other people to work really hard on this"

"Fine, but could you at least check it out?!"

"Fine" But it was certainly not fine, Electron was bored out of his mind. Couldn't Walt just go back to being frozen and get off me and Star Wars' backs?! But then, He saw it, It was the same, exact freakin' thing as the regular Disney Land! All the same fun rides(Sunlight),he was so elated,he even got back all his energy back from when he was bored. He could even take the old creepy white van(ETC) to the Calvin Candy Bar (Dark reactions) He was so excited, He turned into NADP+, NADPH and ATP. He was having the time of his life. Meanwhile, his mom was freaking out that she just lost her child, so she filed little Electron as missing (In calvin cycle), and got a new child, water (she wanted to keep her title as the lady who names her children odd things, so i hope that explains that). She took away a lot privileges from water too keep him safe, this discombobulated his hydroden off of his oxygen body.

Once upon a time in a land far away called Chloroplast. An electron was living in the town called Thylakoid. Inside their family castle called Photo system 2. The electron was awakened by the sun. The electron was happy because it was going to Starbucks. So the electron hops on the ETC (a BMW). While driving the electron started losing energy because Starbucks didn't have the Pumpkin Spice Latte anymore. When the electron gets to Starbucks ( Photo system 1) the electron gets happy again because the sun shined on the menu and the electron saw that the Peppermint Frappuccino was back. The electron saw her friend NAD+. They sit diwn together with their drinks and see their friend Hydrogen. They combined tables to form NADPH. While exiting the ATP synthase they decided to head to Chipotle (Calvin Cycle).

Once upon a time in a vast forest there lived a boy named Electron. He was at his mothers house. known as the house of the PlayStation 2's (She has like 8 million there). He was inside of his house when his mother gave him a candy bar! This candy bar was full of photons and he got very excited and jumped around everywhere. However, his evil dad snatched him away from the PS 2 house and got in his car for transporting electrons. The sneaky dad hopped onto the 91 Electron Transport Chain and traveled to his house. The fathers house was full of PlayStation 1's and the boy was very tired again. The boy named Electron got another Photon Candy Bar and ate it and got really excited again! Suddenly, the super evil grandma snatched him away again and took him inside another car and onto the I5 Electron Transport Chain and took him away onto Calvin Roller coasters while he was transformed by the laws of physics into NADPH and NADP+ and ATP! Meanwhile, the mother was very sad so she got a new child named H2O and she hugged him so hard she squeezed the Oxygen out of him! The hydrogen left by the boy was sent to help make the boy named Electron into NADPH. The end.

Let's pretend that the light reaction cycle is my morning routine. When the sun comes in the window in my room(PS11) it wakes me(the electron) up. So I move to the kitchen(primary electron acceptor) because I am hunger. Then I must walk through the hallway (electron transport chain) and then I am once again tired so I go over to the sink and am blinded by the light in the bathroom(PS1) and am once again awake. Thane I get dressed in my room(NADPH) and go outside for my day leaving in my car(ATP synthesis). Then later in the day I get tired so I drink H2O and wake up.

And that is light reactions told through your morning routine.

A – Absorbed (Light is absorbed by chloroplasts)

P– Photosystem II (light is converted to chemical energy in Photosystem II)

O-Oxygen (Oxygen is given off during this reaction)

P- Pigments (Pigment chlorophyll give plants its green color)

E- Electrons (electrons are lost during oxidation)
T- Thylakoid (primary electron acceptor gives molecules to the thylakoid)

E- Electron Transport Chain (molecules in thylakoid are called the ETC)

L- Lose Energy (electrons lose energy while passing through the train)

L- Light Is Absorbed (electrons combine with NADP+)

S- Secondary reduction ( NADP+ is reduced to NADPH)

Lets say that ATP synthase is really good pizza. And the electrons are me. Me, or electrons are trying to get the pizza. The sun hits me and I now am hungry. I become excited because there is pizza waiting for me at home. My taxi, the Primary Electron Acceptor, takes me to the end of the street. I sprint all the way home and now I am tired. I don't run so.. Okay, so the sun hits me, which makes me energized again. I turn into a quick hurdle jumper, (NAD+) Then I quickly turn into a quicker hurdle jumper, (NADPH). And now I get my pizza and now I'm happy so I leave. I drink water and I don't need oxygen because I have pizza. So I just throw out the oxygen and keep my hydrogen and turns into more pizza and there you go. A happy cell.

Just like we use Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally for math, I used Pepeneol for the Light reactions. Photosynthesis Electrons Purposely Excite Needing Only Energetic Light.

Photons hit chlorophyl

Electrons become excited

Primary electron acceptor carries electrons to Photosystem 1

Electrons reenergize and join with NADP+

NADPH is made and leaves through the ATP synthase

Electrons are gained from splitting water in Photosystem 2

Oxygen leaves cell and hydrogen joins NADP+

Leaves through ATP synthase

# data[].attributes.body
Light is absorbed by chloroplasts.

Is then converted into chemical energy in Photosystem II.

Gets the electron excited.

Hydrogen is broken apart from a water molecule to get the electron back.

Transports the electron to Photosystem I.

Reenergizes the original electron.

Electron from Photosystem I converts into NADP+

And then turns into NADPH and ATP.

Calvin Cycle is next.

The water molecule splits

Into hydrogen and oxygen.

Oxygen is released into the air.

New hydrogen molecule turns into the energy molecules of NADPH and ATP.

Sent through ATP synthesis and is sent to the Calvin Cycle.

The sun is like the Capitol in the Hunger Games. They send people (photons) to tell the ones that live in the district

(chlorophyll) and tells the people (electrons) that one girl and one boy have to go to play in the annual Hunger Games

(PS1).By the time they get to the Capitol, their trainer gets them ready and energized (NADPH) to go on to the games

(Calvin Cycle).

Once there was a mighty hero named, Electron. He started as a simple peasant like any other citizens of the Thylakoid. When the superiors of Thylakoid find out that he/she is the person in the Prophecy of Old. And so, they sent her/him to the great shrine of PS2. There, he/she was showered by a light of power. By doing so, she/he got so powerful that the superiors were in awe. Soon after that, he/she went out of the shrine of PS2 and started her/his journey. But, he/she had to make this a secret. And so, she/he clone himself/herself by using a cloning material called water. She/he splits it and got another Electron and a special item called oxygen. This "Electron" shall act as Electron until he gets back to his/her journey and the oxygen wasn't needed so they threw it out. After that, a guide named, PEA (or Primary Electron Acceptor), guided her/him on his/her journey. PEA took her/him to his/her first part of the journey. She/he must cross the ETC (Electron Transport Chain) and go to the shrine of Old, PS1. As he/she cross, enemies came to sabotage Electron. Although they failed, it made Electron tired. But she/he mad it the PS1. There, he/she had her/his energy restored by a light of power. Not only, he/she met an ally named, NADP+. Now they work together and created an elite force named NADPH.

Light Reactions: It all began when the sun hit photosystem 2 aka Mama E's home. And her child e- had a party and istantly when the sun hit the house the electrons became very excited. Then the party took a terrible turn...e- was kidnapped! By who? Miss Pea thats who! Miss Pea is the Primary Electron Acceptor. She then takes poor little e- and wraps him in chains, puts him in a trance and sticks him on the Electron Transporter Chain. Sad and scared, e- loses all energy and then arrives o a new place. Called photosystem 1. Still in a trance e- thinks its her old home and becomes happy again after the sunshines down on her; e- was then transported into energy. To be exact, NADPH, NADP+, and ATP. Meanwhile, Mama E is freaking out! Since her only child is now kidnapped she must get another kid to fufill her needs. So as water molecules rain down upon her she breaks the hydrogen and oxygen apart to steal an electron. She then passes the hydrogen molecules to the energy sources(NAPDH,NADP+,and ATP), and throughs out the oxygen in the trash which is then dumped into the air and given to us humans. Now everything is well for both Mama E and e-.

Choose either the light reactions or Calvin Cycle of Photosynthesis--

Come up with some sort of memory trick to remember the steps.  This can be a mnemonic device, a short song/jingle, anything at all! Add a picture if you would like.
