Please someone help I have no clue what’s happening. In the Calvin Cycle, the G3Ps are joined together to form glucose, right? (Please someone tell me if I got something wrong here ;-;). However, the formula for G3P is C3H7O6P, whereas the formula for glucose is C6H12O6. Where the heck does the Phosphorus go??? And it ain’t even the first time the math doesn’t add up for me in this godforsaken cycle. Can someone explain this whole thing in like the simplest words possible so my underdeveloped brain can grasp it?

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure

the areas around the equator
