Question

Define Calvin cycle ​

Answer 1

Answer

----------------

The Calvin cycle, light-independent reactions, bio synthetic phase, dark reactions, or photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle of photosynthesis are the chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose

Purpose

---------------

The Calvin cycle is a process that plants and algae use to turn carbon dioxide from the air into sugar, the food autotrophs need to grow. Every living thing on Earth depends on the Calvin cycle.

Final product

------------------

glucose

The Calvin cycle reactions use chemical energy from NADPH and ATP that were produced in the light reactions. The final product of the Calvin cycle is glucose

Three stages

--------------

The Calvin cycle reactions can be divided into three main stages: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration of the starting molecule.

Equation

__________

The light-independent reactions can be summarized as follows: 12 NADPH + 18 ATP + 6 CO2 yields C6H12O6 (glucose) + 12 NADP+ + 18 ADP + 18 Pi + 6 H2O. Most plants use the Calvin cycle to fix CO2
