Question: what happens during the reduction stage of the calvin cycle light-independent reactions)?
Answer: The enzyme Rubisco is used to react 6 CO2 molecules with 6 RuBP, which then come together to form 12 GP molecules. What happens during the reduction phase of the calvin cycle? 12 NADPH and 12 ATP are used to reduce GP to TP and to create ADP and NADP+. ... They split up into 2 6 carbon GP molecules.
