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
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.
It takes six cycles of the Calvin cycle (dark reactions) to produce one molecule of glucose because each cycle fixes one molecule of carbon dioxide. Glucose contains six carbons, so it requires six cycles to fix all six carbons needed to form one molecule of glucose.
The molecule used to replenish RuBP in the Calvin Cycle is phosphoglycerate (PGA). PGA is converted to RuBP through a series of enzymatic reactions, allowing the cycle to continue and fix more carbon dioxide.
The light dependent reactions create compounds which store the energy necessary for the Calvin Cycle to take place. This energy is stored in ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), among other compounds, during the LDR. In the Calvin cycle, these are broken down, which releses energy. The energy released is used to create bonds between the parts of Glucose Another way to explain it in a simpler way is, when the light reaction has gone through once, it has produced NADH and ATP. These are nessisary for the making of glucose which is what the Calvin cycle does. The NADH and ATP are what power the Calvin cycle.
Spaceman Spiff's alter ego is Calvin. (from Calvin and Hobbes)
It takes three rounds of the Calvin cycle to fix three carbon molecules into glucose, therefore at the end of three Calvin cycles there are 9 ADP's produced, 3 NADH+'s produced and one glucose molecule.
