The Calvin Cycle is the second phase of photosynthesis, occurring after the light-dependent reactions. It involves three main phases: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration, ultimately producing sugars crucial for plant growth.
Photosynthesis: The Calvin Cycle
Concepts covered:Calvin Cycle, photosynthesis, carbon fixation, reduction, regeneration
The Calvin Cycle is the second phase of photosynthesis, occurring after the light-dependent reactions. It involves three main phases: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration, ultimately producing sugars crucial for plant growth.
