Location: Takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast.

  • Phases of the Calvin Cycle:

    1. Carbon Fixation:
    2. Reduction Phase:
    3. Regeneration of RuBP:
  • Key Enzyme:

    • RuBisCO is the primary enzyme, acting as both a carboxylase and an oxygenase.
    • Can bind to CO₂ (carboxylation) or O₂ (oxygenation), the latter leading to photorespiration, which reduces efficiency.
  • Energy Requirement:

    • For each full turn of the cycle (producing 1 G3P):
    • To produce one glucose molecule, the cycle must run twice, requiring:
  • Products:

    • G3P is the direct product, which can be used to form glucose and other carbohydrates.
  • Photorespiration Issue:

    • Occurs when RuBisCO fixes O₂ instead of CO₂, leading to wasteful energy loss.
    • More likely in hot, dry climates when stomata close to conserve water.
  • Adaptations:

    • C4 and CAM plants have evolved mechanisms to minimize photorespiration and improve efficiency, which will be explored further.
