Reduction Phase of Calvin Cycle
In the reduction phase of the Calvin Cycle, ATP and NADPH are used to convert 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA) into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P).
ATP provides the energy for Phosphorylation, while NADPH donates electrons for the reduction of the intermediate molecule.
G3P is a three-carbon sugar that serves as the primary output of the cycle and a precursor for Glucose synthesis.
