The Light Dependent Reactions (Calvin Cycle): The Calvin cycle is presented here broken up into three phases: fixation, reduction, and regeneration. The powering of the cycle by ATP and NADPH, made in the light-dependent reactions, is stressed. The animation simplifies the Cycle to show only 3PGA, G3P, and RuBP and shows an accounting for CO2, ATP, and NADPH in the production of one glucose molecule. Run time: 3:00 |
