character: Calvin Cycle Overview
topic: The Calvin Cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts in photosynthetic organisms, where carbon dioxide is fixed into organic molecules.
topic: RuBisCO (Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the first step of the Calvin Cycle, facilitating the conversion of carbon dioxide into ribulose bisphosphate.
topic: Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy, which includes the Calvin Cycle as a key component in synthesizing glucose.
topic: Carbon fixation is the first stage of the Calvin Cycle, where atmospheric carbon dioxide is incorporated into organic molecules, primarily facilitated by the enzyme RuBisCO.
