What happens during the carbon fixation stage of the Calvin Cycle (light-indepedent reactions)? Energy from ATP and electrons from NADPH are used to reduce 3-phosphoglycerate to form G3P molecules (which c be used to form other organic molecules such as glucose) Oxygen is produced through this process The remaining G3P molecules that have exited the cycle are used to re-form RuBP through a series of chemical reactions, so that the Calvin cycle can continue. The enzyme Rubisco attaches to RuBP, causing the formation of molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate

Question
What happens during the carbon fixation stage of the Calvin Cycle (light-indepedent reactions)?
Energy from ATP and electrons from NADPH are used to reduce 3-phosphoglycerate to form G3P molecules (which can
be used to form other organic molecules such as glucose)
Oxygen is produced through this process
The remaining G3P molecules that have exited the cycle are used to re-form RuBP through a series of chemical
reactions, so that the Calvin cycle can continue.
The enzyme Rubisco attaches to RuBP, causing the formation of molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate
