The Calvin Cycle, also known as the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle, is a series of redox reactions that occur in the chloroplasts. The initial reactants are water and carbon dioxide.
Converts carbon dioxide to glucose
The Calvin cycle, a series of biochemical reactions that occur during photosynthesis, takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast, which is a compartment within the plant cell where photosynthesis occurs.
Dark reaction or Calvin cycles and Light reaction
The Reactants for the Light-Independent Cycle(Calvin Cycle) are ATP, CO2, and NADPH
The light reactants of photosynthesis, including light energy and water, are transformed into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. These molecules are essential for driving the Calvin cycle, the part of photosynthesis that produces glucose from carbon dioxide. Without the light reactants, the Calvin cycle cannot proceed and glucose production is limited.
co2
glucose and oxygen are the reactants in this equation, glucose come from the sugars broken down from your food and oxygen come from your lungs, passing through the thin cell wall of the bronchioles into your bloodstream which are in turn absorbed by the mitochondria and the process of respiration takes place
Reactants: ATP, NADPH2, CO2, Products: Glucose, Oxygen
6 cycles are required if you consider or start from 1 CO2 , but 2 cycles if you start from 3 CO2 .
Light, water and carbon dioxide are required in the calvin cycle, 3 photons, 3 water molecules, and 3 carbon dioxide, although most people refer to photosynthesis and making glucose, requiring 2 calvin cycles
The Calvin Cycle in Photosynthesis and The Krebs Cycle in Cellular Respiration. The Calvin Cycle occurs in chloroplasts and The Krebs Cycle occurs in the Mitochondria.
The reactants of the dark reactions (Calvin Cycle) of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide (CO2), ATP (adenosine triphosphate), and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). These molecules are used by the plant to produce glucose, the primary energy source for the plant.
