Question

Calvin cycle pathway - Draw and outline the diagram.

Answer 1

reaction part of the photosynthesis in which reduction of carbon atoms from carbon dioxide to a reduced state of hexose occurs by utilizing ATP and NADPH produced by the light reactions. ... There are a lot of similarities between the Calvin Cycle and the Pentose Phosphate Pathway.

Answer 2

Calvin Cycle Pathway Explained:

Calvin cycle is used to fix the atmospheric carbon dioxide to three carbon sugars.

Steps involved in Calvin cycle:

1) Carbon Fixation

Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is combined with 5 carbon RuBP. The six carbon compound thus formed is then split into two 3 carbon compounds, 3-PGA

Enzyme: RuBP carboxylase

2) Reduction

The 3-PGA is converted into simple sugar, G3P

3) Regeneration

Now, some G3P molecules go to make glucose and some regenerates RuBP for the first step.
