What is Calvin Cycle: G3P and ATP Usage about?
The Calvin cycle, or light-independent reactions, occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts and relies on ATP and NADPH from light-dependent reactions. It begins with carbon fixation, where CO₂ is attached to ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) by the enzyme RuBisCO, resulting in 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA). The cycle includes a reduction phase converting 3-PGA to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) and a regeneration phase that uses ATP to regenerate RuBP, requiring three turns to form one G3P and six turns to produce one
