Calvin cycle.
first stable compound is a three carbon compound, (3- phosphoglyceric acid) , the cycle is called C3? cycle.
It consists of three major steps:
1. Carboxylation: Zero ATP and zero NADPH.
2. Reversal of glycolysis: Two ATP and two NADPH.
3. Regeneration of RuBP: One ATP and zero NADPH.
Hence for every CO2$ molecule entering the calvin cycle, 3 molecules of ATP and 2 of NADPH are required.
