Make ATP + NADPH, release O2 (from splitting water).\n- Calvin cycle happens in the stroma. Uses ATP + NADPH to fix CO2 into sugar (G3P).\n- Rubisco = enzyme that fixes CO2. Most abundant protein on Earth (he told a long story about his grad school lab and rubisco lol)\n- C4 and CAM plants: adaptations for hot/dry climates, reduce water loss. Know ONE example of each: corn (C4), cactus (CAM).\n\nSide story: his dog ate his lecture notes in 2009. 15 minutes on this.\n\nEND OF LECTURE: \"Correction on the exam - the room was booked. Exam 3 is now Nov 21, not Nov 20. Sorry, I'll post on Canvas.\"\n\nProblem set 7 due Monday.
