Summary

DescriptionCalvin Cycle 5.svg	A diagram of the Calvin cycle showing carbon capture from CO2 and carbon output as glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. Carbon can also exit the cycle as glycerate 3-phosphate, for production of fatty acids, and some amino acids. What is shown here is only the canonical representation of the Calvin cycle, where carbon exits as glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate for gluconeogenesis, or glycerol production. Key: Circles represent atoms according to the following: Black is carbon. White is hydrogen. Red is oxygen. Purple is phosphorus. Alternative chemical names: 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA or 3PG) is also known as glycerate 3-phosphate or GP in British textbooks. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P or GAP) is also known as triose phosphate or TP in British textbooks.
