Importance of Calvin-Basham or C3 cycle

1. In this cycle RuBP combines with CO2 to produce PGA. PGA is formed from PGAld.
2. Complex sugars are produced from PGAld through a series of reactions.
3. CO2 is absorbed in the Calvin cycle. As a result, the amount of CO2 in the environment remains normal.
4. RuBP is regenerated through the Calvin cycle and maintains a photoneutral state.
5. Various compounds produced in the Calvin cycle participate in plant metabolism.
6. Xylulose produced in the Calvin cycle helps form plant cell walls.
7. Glucose produced in the Calvin cycle forms cellulose and cellulose through polymer formation.
