The 24 pages that link to Calvin cycle, each with the reason it gives.

• PhotosynthesisBroader topic: It is the main route by which photosynthetic carbon fixation builds carbohydrate precursors.

• GlucoseBroader topic: Its carbon products supply the materials from which glucose can be synthesized.

• ChloroplastRelated: The chloroplast uses products of its light reactions to fix carbon in this cycle.

• C4 carbon fixationRelated: It uses the carbon dioxide concentrated around Rubisco to produce carbohydrates.

• Primary productionBroader topic: It supplies fixed carbon for much oxygenic primary production.

• ChemosynthesisRelated: Many chemosynthetic bacteria use this pathway to fix carbon.

• Crassulacean acid metabolismRelated: It fixes the carbon released from stored acids during CAM’s daytime phase.

• CAM photosynthesisRelated: It fixes the carbon dioxide released from stored acids during the day.

• Oxygenic photosynthesisRelated: It consumes the ATP and NADPH generated by the light reactions to fix carbon.

• C3 carbon fixationNarrower topic: C3 fixation is the carbon-entry route into this cycle.

• PhotorespirationRelated: Photorespiration diverts Calvin-cycle intermediates and returns some carbon as 3-phosphoglycerate.

• ChemolithotrophyBroader topic: Some chemolithotrophs use this pathway to assimilate carbon dioxide.

• PlantBroader topic: This cycle builds carbon compounds from the carbon dioxide plants absorb.

• Photosystem IRelated: NADPH generated downstream of Photosystem I supplies reducing power for carbon fixation.

• RuBisCONarrower topic: RuBisCO begins the cycle’s carbon-fixation phase by adding carbon dioxide to ribulose bisphosphate.

• KetoseRelated: The cycle uses the ketose ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate to capture carbon dioxide.

• Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphateRelated: NADPH supplies electrons for the reduction steps that build carbohydrate precursors.

• AutotrophBroader topic: Many photosynthetic autotrophs use this cycle to fix carbon.

• ChlorophytaBroader topic: This cycle converts the energy captured by chlorophyte photosystems into fixed carbon.

• GlyceraldehydeRelated: The cycle produces triose phosphates, including glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.

• ErythroseRelated: A Calvin-cycle intermediate can be rearranged into erythrose 4-phosphate.

• Light-dependent reactionsRelated: It consumes the ATP and NADPH generated by the light-dependent reactions.

• Melvin CalvinBroader topic: This pathway is the defining scientific result associated with Calvin.

• Biological carbon fixationBroader topic: It is the most widespread carbon-fixation pathway, used by plants, algae, and many bacteria.
