Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that photosynthesis consists of two main stages: the light reactions and the dark reactions (Calvin Cycle). The light reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes and produce ATP and NADPH, which are used in the dark reactions.
Recognize that the dark reactions, also known as the Calvin Cycle, take place in the stroma of the chloroplasts and do not require light directly. They use the ATP and NADPH generated in the light reactions.
Identify the main purpose of the dark reactions: to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. This process is known as carbon fixation.
Learn the key steps of the Calvin Cycle: carbon fixation, reduction phase, carbohydrate formation, and regeneration of ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP). These steps involve a series of enzyme-mediated reactions.
Understand that the Calvin Cycle ultimately results in the synthesis of glucose, which serves as an energy source for the plant and can be stored as starch or used to build other organic molecules.
