The first event in the Calvin cycle is the attachment of carbon dioxide to the five-carbon RuBP molecule,which decreases cell carbon dioxide levels,which increases the diffusion gradient.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Calvin cycle begins with carbon fixation, where CO2 is attached to RuBP, reducing CO2 levels in the cell and increasing the diffusion gradient for more CO2 to enter.
