In the process of carbon fixation, RuBP attaches a CO2 to produce a six-carbon molecule, which is then split to produce two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate. After phosphorylation and reduction produces glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P), what more needs to happen to complete the Calvin cycle?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The final step of the Calvin cycle involves the regeneration of RuBP, so that the cycle can continue. The enzyme that catalyzes this reaction is called RuBP carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco).
