The Calvin cycle is called such because every process produces something that the next process needs, right back to the original step. Carbon fixation produces the molecules needed for reduction, which produces the molecules needed for the regeneration of ribulose, which produces what's needed for carbon fixation.

∙ 11y agoBecause in the Krebs Cycle for example, the cycle "begins" with 4 carbon molecules, then through a series of reactions, Carbon dioxide is formed which leaves the cycle, which leaves 4 carbon molecules remaining, these four carbon molecules are then used to behind the cycle again, this is why it is called a cycle
