Summary Introduction

To review:

The consumption and reformation of ribulose 1, 5-bisphosphate in the Calvin cycle and the key products that emerge to form sugars and amino acids.

Introduction:

Calvin cycle is a light-independent reaction that takes place in the absence of light in a process such as photosynthesis. This reaction depends on light indirectly for the energy units like ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). Ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate is a negatively charged, 5-carbon organic sugar.
