The Calvin Cylce by Dominik_Borucki https://padlet.com/dominikborucki989/g6dzdtneuzyk Honors Biology en-us 2016-11-26 21:32:07 UTC 2023-03-05 05:26:16 UTC hello@padlet.com dominikborucki989 https://padlet.com/dominikborucki989/g6dzdtneuzyk/wish/139989698 You, like all organisms on Earth, are a carbon-based life form. In other words, the complex molecules of your amazing body are built on carbon backbones. You might already know that you’re carbon-based, but have you ever wondered where all of that carbon comes from?

These reactions are also called the light-independent reactions because they are not directly driven by light.
In the Calvin cycle, carbon atoms from \text {CO}_2CO​2​​C, O, start subscript, 2, end subscript are fixed and used to build three-carbon sugars. This process is fueled by, and dependent on, ATP and NADPH from the light reactions. Unlike the light reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membrane, the reactions of the Calvin cycle take place in the stroma.

In the Calvin cycle, carbon atoms from \text {CO}_2CO​2​​C, O, start subscript, 2, end subscript are fixed (incorporated into organic molecules) and used to build three-carbon sugars. This process is fueled by, and dependent on, ATP and NADPH from the light reactions. Unlike the light reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membrane, the reactions of the Calvin cycle take place in the stroma (the inner space of chloroplasts).
