The Calvin cycle starts with carbon dioxide fixation through carboxylation, followed by the reduction phase where ATP and NADPH are used to reduce 3-phosphoglycerate into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, and ends with the regeneration of the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) that is necessary for the cycle to continue.
