1: The Calvin Cycle

calvin cycle  Calvin cycle to fix carbon All reactions occur in mesophyll cells using CO2 that diffuses in through stomata b The C4 pathway incorporates CO2 into a 4 Calvin cycle is also known as C3 cycle In this cycle, carbon from carbon cycle is fixed into sugars Calvin cycle steps include: Carbon

To fix six CO2 molecules, the Calvin-Benson cycle reduces 12 NADPH and 18 ATP molecules These energy sources are replenished by the light-dependent reactions The Calvin Cycle or the Light independent reactions of photosynthesis are chemical reactions

Calvin cycle is a chemical process in which carbon dioxide is converted into sugar in three stages that encompass carboxylation, reduction reaction and The Calvin cycle is organized into three basic stages: fixation, reduction, and regeneration Learning Objectives
