Noun
Calvin cycle (plural Calvin cycles)
English Wikipedia has an article on:Calvin cycleWikipedia
(biochemistry) A series of biochemical reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts in photosynthetic organisms.
Because the job of bundle sheath chloroplasts is to carry out the Calvin cycle and make sugar, they often contain large starch grains. Source: Internet
Carbon fixation and G3P synthesis The Calvin cycle starts by using the enzyme Rubisco to fix CO 2 into five-carbon Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) molecules. Source: Internet
In contrast to C 4 metabolism, which physically separates the CO 2 fixation to PEP from the Calvin cycle, CAM temporally separates these two processes. Source: Internet
Their energy is used in the light-independent reactions of the Calvin cycle by the enzyme rubisco to produce molecules of the 3-carbon sugar glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P). Source: Internet
Dark reactions The Calvin cycle (Interactive diagram) The Calvin cycle incorporates carbon dioxide into sugar molecules. Source: Internet
It can waste up to half the carbon fixed by the Calvin cycle. Source: Internet
