Metabolic intermediates of glycolysis and Calvin cycle
Featured Products
3-Phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA) is a key intermediate in photosynthesis and cellular respiration. In the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis, 3-PGA is the first stable product produced by enzymatic reaction of carbon dioxide combined with ribulose-1, 5-diphosphate (RuBP). Subsequently, 3-PGA is converted to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) under the action of energy and reducing power, which can be further used to synthesize glucose and other carbohydrates. In cellular respiration, 3-PGA is also an intermediate in the glycolytic pathway. Glucose is broken down into 3-PGA during glycolysis and then further converted into pyruvate, which releases energy for use by cells.
