Detailed explanation-1: -The reactions of the Calvin cycle add carbon (from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere) to a simple five-carbon molecule called RuBP. These reactions use chemical energy from NADPH and ATP that were produced in the light reactions. The final product of the Calvin cycle is glucose.
Detailed explanation-2: -RuBP stands for ribulose bisphosphate, it’s a 5 carbon compound involved in the Calvin cycle, which is part of the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis. Atmospheric CO2 is combined with RuBP to form a 6 carbon compound, with the help of an enzyme (biological catalyst) called RuBisCo.
Detailed explanation-3: -CO2 combines with RuBP in the presence of enzyme RuBisCO to form 3-PGA. This process of the Calvin cycle is included under.
Detailed explanation-4: -An enzyme, RuBisCO, catalyzes the fixation reaction, by combining CO2 with RuBP.
Detailed explanation-5: -CO2 combines with RuBP in the presence of enzyme RuBisCO to form 3-PGA.
