In the Calvin cycle, ATP is produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. These reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, where sunlight is captured by chlorophyll and used to generate ATP and NADPH through processes like photophosphorylation. The ATP and NADPH generated then provide the energy and reducing power needed for the Calvin cycle to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
CO2 is removed in the Calvin cycle because it is used as a substrate to build carbohydrate molecules, particularly sugars like glucose. Through a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, CO2 is transformed into organic compounds, serving as the primary source of carbon for the production of sugars in photosynthetic organisms.
They are not storing. but they make glucose as a carbohydrate.
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.
The Calvin Cycle is a light-independent cycle, but it does not require darkness. although it can use light again it does not require it.
Three molecules of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) are needed to synthesize one molecule of glucose in the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis.
The process, or cycle, that plants use to make their own glucose is called the Calvin Cycle, also referred to as the "dark cycle."
The regeneration of RuBP (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate) ensures that the Calvin cycle can make a continuous supply of glucose. This regeneration step allows the cycle to repeatedly fix carbon dioxide and synthesize glucose molecules.

During the Calvin cycle, 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) are needed to produce one molecule of glucose because glucose contains 6 carbon atoms. Each carbon dioxide molecule contributes one carbon atom to the glucose molecule through a series of chemical reactions in the Calvin cycle.
Yes, chlorophyll does "harvest light," but it doesn't make glucose; the Calvin Cycle does that.
Light dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane. The Calvin Cycle takes place in the stroma. The light dependent reactions use light energy to make ATP and NADPH. The Calvin Cycle uses these to make CA3P and Co2.
Chloroplast
The Calvin cycle is a part of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is converted into glucose, a carbon-based molecule. This glucose, along with other carbohydrates produced in the Calvin cycle, serves as the main energy source for plants. When you eat plants or plant-based foods, you consume these carbon-based molecules, which are then used by your body for energy and building blocks in cellular processes.
The Calvin Cycle is a light-independent cycle, but it does not require darkness. although it can use light again it does not require it.
I'm pretty sure that it takes 2 PGAL's to make 1 glucose . It takes 6 turns of the Calvin cycle since 3 turns give you 1 PGAL.
