Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a reactant in the Calvin cycle, a series of biochemical reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts during photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is converted into sugars with the help of ATP and NADPH produced during the light reactions of photosynthesis.
The reactant in the Calvin cycle is carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide is fixed and converted into organic molecules, such as glucose, through a series of enzymatic reactions in the Calvin cycle.
Carbon dioxide is the reactant used in the Calvin cycle. It is combined with ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) by the enzyme Rubisco to initiate the process of carbon fixation and ultimately produce glucose.
