In the Calvin Cycle [CC], carbon dioxide combines with RuBP which creates PGA. From the light dependent reactions in photosynthesis which occurs in the thylakoid, ATP and NADPH are produced. Those two products combine with the PGA to from PGAL. one of the 6 molcules of PGAL combine with a phosphate is used by the plants to create sugars, starch, etc. PGAL rearranges with 5-carbon phosphate and another phosphate is given to PGAL from the ATP light-dependent reaction product producing RuBP again. This restarts the cycle starting with carbon dioxide combining with the RuBP.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) is produced as a result of the Calvin cycle. For every three carbon dioxide molecules, six G3P will be produced. One of these molecules is given off as a product of photosynthesis, but the remaining five are incorporated back into the cycle in a series of reactions that regenerates ribulose biphosphate, allowing the cycle to flow again.

Each of the 3 CO2 molecules combines with a molecule of ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP). Each resulting six-carbon molecule immediately splits into two molecules of 3-PGA.

In step four, the remaining G3P molecules are converted back into ribulose biphosphate ( RuBP). The resulting G3P molecules then then enter the Calvin cycle again!! :D

Out of toal 12 G3P produced from sugar formation (stage 2)

Only 2 G3P will be used in order to produce

Sugars and Starches (and other Organisms)
