Detailed explanation-1: -Calvin cycle is operated by 11 different enzymes that catalyze 13 reactions. The “key” regulatory enzymes are RuBisCO, FBPase, SBPase, and PRK. These enzymes play a major role as they control the rate of CO2 fixation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Overview of the Calvin cycle This process is fueled by, and dependent on, ATP and NADPH from the light reactions. Unlike the light reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membrane, the reactions of the Calvin cycle take place in the stroma (the inner space of chloroplasts).
Detailed explanation-3: -In the stroma, in addition to CO2, two other chemicals are present to initiate the Calvin cycle: an enzyme abbreviated RuBisCO, and the molecule ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP). RuBP has five atoms of carbon and a phosphate group on each end.
