Summary Introduction

To analyse: Use of ATP and NADPH and functioning of RuBisCO in Calvin cycle.

Introduction:

Calvin or C3 cycle is a type of dark reaction. In this cyclic biochemical pathway, the reduction of CO2, or can say photosynthetic carbon is done. This pathway is followed or shown by the plant when the first product of CO2 fixation is a C3 acid, PGA (Phosphoglyceric acid). The C3 pathway has three major steps; carboxylation, reduction, and regeneration. These steps are known as glycolytic reversal which is the formation of a sugar and takes place between reduction and regeneration.
