to sugar. ○ The Calvin cycle, like the citric acid cycle, regenerates its starting material after molecules enter and leave the cycle.

The Calvin cycle utilises the products of the light re- actions of photosynthesis, ATP and NADPH, to fix atmospheric CO2 into carbon skeletons that are used.

Calvin cycle enzymes are absent in mesophyll chloroplasts. The cycle occurs only in the chloroplasts of bundle sheath cells. 8. The CO2 compensation point is 50 ...

Fixation of atmospheric carbon dioxide in photosynthesis by C3 plants is known as Calvin cycle. This is the most prevalent pathway of CO2 fixation on the earth.

✓Rubbisco (Ribulose bis-phosphate carboxylase-oxygenase) is main enzyme in C3 - cycle, which is present in stroma. ✓ CO2 - acceptor in Calvin cycle is RuBp.
