5
Q
calvin cycle
3
A
- 3 phases:
Carbon Fixation
Reduction Reactions
RuBP Regeneration - This part is the actual “synthesis” part of photosynthesis, where CO2 is converted into sugar by a series of 11 enzyme-catalyzed reactions in the stroma of chloroplasts
- Endergonic process that uses the ATP and NADPH produced in the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis

Q
photorespiration
A
is an unfavorable process which decreases the production of sugars by
Photosynthesis.
