    Calvin Cycle

    • Oxygen is NOT a product of the Calvin cycle
    • The primary function of the Calvin cycle is to fix CO2 into organic molecules using the ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions
    • RuBisCO (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) is the enzyme responsible for the first step of the Calvin cycle, which is the fixation of CO2 into a 3-carbon molecule called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA)
