    Calvin Cycle

    The Calvin cycle uses energy from light-dependent reactions in the form of ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide into three-carbon sugar molecules. Six molecules of carbon dioxide first mix with five-carbon molecules to form twelve three-carbon molecules. ATP provides energy to convert these molecules into higher energy compounds using electrons from NADPH. The cycle then removes two carbon molecules from most of the three-carbon molecules to form six-carbon sugars and other compounds, regenerating the original five-carbon molecules to restart the cycle.

    Light-Independent Reactions (Calvin Cycle)

    The Calvin Cycle produces high-energy sugars by using ATP


    and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions.
    A) CO3 Enters the Cycle
    While six carbon dioxide molecules mix with five
    carbon molecules, it results into twelve three carbon
    molecules.
    B) Energy Input
    As the twelve three carbon molecules convert from
    the use of energy by ATP, high-energy electrons from
    NADPH form a higher energy.
    C) 6-Carbon Sugar Produced
    Initially, sugars, lipids, amino acids, and other
    compounds make the cycle remove two of the three
    carbon molecules.
    D) 5-Carbon Molecules Regenerated
    In the end, the ten three carbon molecules that were
    not used are now converted back into the six five
    carbon molecules that will then be used in the next
    cycle.
