The Calvin cycle is a 'light independent cycle' that takes place in the chloroplasts. In this cycle, water and carbon dioxide is converted into organic compounds. The key enzyme involved is Rubisco.

How does the lack of electrons affect the Calvin cycle?

It will not work properly, but there are usually electrons from the carbon dioxide and water needed to perform the Calvin Cycle at all.

How is the Calvin cycle completed?

The Calvin cycle is completed when the cycle of chemical reactions converts carbon dioxide into glucose. This process requires the input of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), which provide the energy needed to drive the reactions. The final step of the Calvin cycle regenerates the molecule needed to start the cycle again.


What is needed to convert PGA into G3P in the second step of the Calvin-Benson cycle?

In the second step of the Calvin-Benson cycle, the enzyme NADPH and ATP are needed to convert PGA (3-phosphoglycerate) into G3P (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate).


How do the events in the Calvin cycle depend on the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis's?

In order for CO2 to be fixed into carbohydrate in the Calvin Cycle, ATP and NADPH which are both made in the light dependent stage are needed.


Which organelle participates in the Calvin cycle?

The chloroplast is the organelle that participates in the Calvin cycle. Within the chloroplast, the stroma is where the Calvin cycle takes place.


What are other names for the Calvin cycle?

What gas is needed in dark reaction?

CO2 is needed for it. That is to get carbon


Why is the Calvin cycle called a cycle?

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.


Before the calvin cycle begins where is the energy stored?

The energy needed for the Calvin cycle is stored in the form of ATP and NADPH molecules, which are produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. These molecules provide the energy required for the Calvin cycle to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates.
