Light-independent Reaction/ Calvin cycle
1. Carbon dioxide enters the stroma
2. Ribulose bisphosphate + Carbon dioxide —(rubisco)→ Glycerate 3-phosphate
3. Glycerate 3-phosphate + NADPH → Triose phosphate + NADP
4. Energy is required and provided via ATP → ADP + Pi
5. 80% of Triose phosphate is converted back into ribulose bisphosphate
6. 20% of Triose phosphate is converted into Glucose, Amino acids, Glycerol
