Document Summary
Here are some frequently asked questions about the calvin cycle: The calvin cycle is a biochemical process in photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is converted into organic compounds like glucose, using energy from sunlight. It occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts and is also known as the c3 cycle. The calvin cycle is important because it is the primary way in which carbon is fixed in the biosphere, which means that carbon dioxide is converted into organic compounds that can be used by living organisms. Without this process, life on earth as we know it would not be possible. The calvin cycle has three main stages: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration. In the carbon fixation stage, carbon dioxide is captured and converted into an organic molecule, usually ribulose bisphosphate (rubp). In the reduction stage, atp and nadph from the light-dependent reactions are used to convert the organic molecule into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (g3p).
