For each molecule of output, this process consumes six NADPH and nine ATP, most of which are used in the second of its three phases when 3-phosphoglycerate is converted into the final product, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.

Taking place in the stroma, it is sometimes augmented by the C4 or CAM pathways when environmental conditions prevent the CO2 collection necessary for rubisco-mediated carbon fixation to be efficient. For 10 points, name this cycle central to the dark reactions in plants.
