alleryThe stages of the Calvin cycle in order are
APhosphorylation, dehydration, hydrolysis
BCarboxylation, reduction, regeneration of RuBP
CRegeneration, oxidation, reduction of RuBP
DReduction, regeneration, carboxylation steps
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Carboxylation, reduction, regeneration of RuBP
Three stages: (1) CARBOXYLATION (RuBisCO fixes CO2 onto RuBP, giving 2 PGA)
(2) REDUCTION (using ATP + NADPH to convert PGA to G3P, with one G3P out per 3 CO2 in)
(3) REGENERATION (recycle G3P back to RuBP using ATP).
