Chloroplast is the only green organelle present in the plant body. It produces sugary food (glucose) in the process of photosynthesis.
1. Ribulose 1, 5 bisphosphate reacts with atmospheric CO2 to form 3-phosphoglyceric acid.
2. 3-phosphoglyceric acid is then converted to 1,3-bisphosphoglyceric acid.
3. 1, 3 Bisphosphoglyceric acid produces 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone phosphate.
4. Fructose 1, 6 bisphosphate is produced from 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde.
5. Fructose 1,6 bisphosphate is converted to fructose 6-phosphate.
6. Glucose 6-phosphate is produced from fructose 6-phosphate
7. Glucose/food is produced from glucose 6-phosphate.
