What is Calvin Cycle Overview and Steps about?
This document describes the Calvin cycle, the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis. It involves 3 main steps: 1) carbon fixation using the enzyme RuBisCO to incorporate carbon dioxide into ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, 2) reduction where ATP and NADPH are used to reduce the carbon compounds, and 3) regeneration of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate using ATP to restart the cycle and produce 3-phosphoglycerate for further reactions in central metabolic pathways.
