MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Calvin cycle is also known as the C3 cycle. It is the cycle of chemical reactions where the carbon from the carbon cycle is fixed into sugars. It occurs in the chloroplast of the plant cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -C3 Pathway (Calvin Cycle) The majority of plants produce 3-carbon acid called 3-phosphoglyceric acid (PGA) as a first product during carbon dioxide fixation. Such a pathway is known as the C3 pathway which is also called the Calvin cycle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon atoms end up in you, and in other life forms, thanks to the second stage of photosynthesis, known as the Calvin cycle (or the light-independent reactions).

Detailed explanation-4: -In C4 plants the photosynthesis takes place in a thin-walled mesophyll cell and a 4-carbon acid is handed off to a thick-walled bundle sheath cell, where the Calvin cycle occurs in a chloroplast of that second cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -It is called C3 Cycle because the first stable compound formed is a 3 carbon molecule PGA. The Calvin cycle can be described under three stages: carboxylation, reduction, and regeneration.
