What are the four steps of the Calvin Cycle?

1. 6 carbon dioxide molecules combine with six 5-carbon molecules forming twelve 3-carbon molecules. 2. The 12x 3-carbon molecules are converted into high-energy forms. 3. 2 of the 12 3-carbon molecules are removed and the plant uses them to produce sugars, lipids, amino acids, and other compounds. 4. The 10x 3-carbon molecules change back into six 5-carbon molecules, which combine with 6 more carbon dioxide molecules. The process starts over.

The four steps of the Calvin Cycle are Fixation, Reduction, Regeneration, and Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate synthesis. Overall, the Calvin Cycle uses energy from ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 into organic molecules that store energy for the plant. ;

The Calvin Cycle consists of four main steps: carbon fixation, reduction phase, production of G3P, and regeneration of RuBP. These steps allow plants to convert carbon dioxide into glucose and other organic compounds, using energy from ATP and NADPH. This process is crucial for photosynthesis and plant growth.
