1. Carbon Fixation
Step 1: 3 CO2 comes in and an enzyme called rubisco hopefully (when I say hopefully, I mean that because it might catalyze oxygen instead of carbon, which is bad) catalyzes carbon.
Step 2: The carbon is turned into RuBP (a 6 carbon), which is unstable, so it instantly turns into two of 3-PG (a 3 carbon). There are 6 of these.
2. Reduction
Step 3: The 3-PG get a phosphate each from ATP, which then turns into ADP. The 3-PG now become 3-biphosphoglycerate. There are 6 of these.
Step 4: The 3-biphosphoglycerate each get an hydrogen ion (H+) from NADPH, which then turns into NADP+.
Step 5: The molecule then and there loose a phosphate group, which goes back to restoring the ADP into ATP. The resulting molecule is called G3P, which is final goal for the Calvin Cycle. There are 6 G3P molecules.
3. Regeneration
Step 6: As I mentioned earlier, G3P is the main goal of the Calvin cycle, so only one out of the 6 are used for as organic compounds, whereas the rest go back in the cycle.
Step 7: The 5 G3P molecules that go back to the cycle are rearranged to become the molecule RuBP (ribulose biphosphate) and go back to step 2.
What else can I help you with?
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 the main steps of photosinthsis?
The main steps of photosynthesis are light reactions and Calvin cycle. In the light reactions, light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH). In the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide is fixed and converted into glucose using the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions.
What site does Calvin cycle happen?
The Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts.
What does the word cycle tell you about the chemical reactions of the Calvin cycle?
The word "cycle" suggests that the chemical reactions of the Calvin cycle are continuous and repetitive, with each step leading back to the starting point. Just as in a physical cycle, the Calvin cycle involves a series of interconnected steps that ultimately loop back to regenerate the starting molecule, allowing the process to continue.
When does carbohydrate production occur in a chloroplast?
During The Calvin Cycle cycle, sugars are produced in the chloroplast.
What is another name for the for the dark reaction?
the calvin cycle
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?
The Calvin Cycle is also known as the Calvin-Benson Cycle, light-independent reaction, or the C3 Cycle.

What site does Calvin cycle happen?
The Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts.
Which of the following does not occur during the Calvin cycle?
The consumption of oxygen does not occur during the Calvin cycle. This process involves carbon fixation, reduction of carbon compounds, and regeneration of RuBP. Oxygen is not directly involved in these steps.
What are the two steps in photosynthisis?
The two steps in photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions, which occur in the thylakoid membranes and require light to produce ATP and NADPH, and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) that occur in the stroma and use ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 into sugar.
What does the word cycle tell you about the chemical reactions of the Calvin cycle?

When does carbohydrate production occur in a chloroplast?
During The Calvin Cycle cycle, sugars are produced in the chloroplast.
The Calvin Cycle is known as what?
The Calvin Cycle is also known as the dark phase of photosynthesis.
Where in the plant does the Calvin cycle occur?
The Calvin Cycle occurs in the stroma (inside a chloroplast)
Name the metabolic pathway of photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP?
The Calvin cycle, also known as the light-independent reactions, is the metabolic pathway of photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP. This process occurs in the stroma of the chloroplasts.
