Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Calvin cycle proceeds as follows: carbon fixation (1), where CO2 is attached to RuBP; reduction (4), where ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions are used to reduce 3-PGA into G3P; release of G3P (3), where some G3P leaves the cycle to be used in the synthesis of glucose and other compounds; and finally, regeneration of RuBP (2), allowing the cycle to continue.
