Biochemistry › Calvin Cycle Carbohydrate Intermediates
What happens during stage 1 of the Calvin cycle?
Carbon dioxide and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate react to form 3-phosphoglycerate
NADPH and 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate react to form glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
Fructose-6-phosphate becomes ribulose 5-phosphate
ATP reacts with ribulose 5-phosphate to become ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate
2 ATP molecules react with 3-phosphoglycerate to form 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate
