The Calvin cycle consists of three stages. They are:
carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation, reduction of 1,3-Biphosphoglycerate (BPG)
and regeneration of Ribulose bisphosphate
(RuBP).
-
To enable students remember the Calvin Cycle, I use a simple tune.
It is a variation of Here we go around the mulberry bush.
The lyrics are on the top left corner, and in red.
-
Step 1: Carbon fixationThree RuBP and CO2 forms PGA,RuBP adds CO2; so CO2 is fixed!
3 moleculesCO2
3 molecules of RuBP [5C] 6 molecules of PGA [3C]
-
PGA is phosphorylated; forms 1,3-BPG.

Step2: Reduction of 1,3-BPGBPG now gets reducedto aldehyde G-3-P.

One G-3-P is removed; it changes to triose.
