The Calvin Benson cycle uses ATP (adenosine triphosphate), NADPH (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), and CO2 (carbon dioxide) to create glucose.

Carbon dioxide and RuBP combine to make PGA

rubpThey give rise to a 6 C unstable compound.Then this is broken into 2 PGA molecules
The first step of the Calvin cycle is carbon fixation. RuBisCO (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase) is the enzyme that fixates a carbon from carbon dioxide to RuBP (ribulose-1,5-bisiphosphate) to make 3-phosphoglycerate.
The dark stage of photosynthesis takes place in stroma. The 1 molecule of glucose is converted into glucose by an enzyme called RUBP or RUBISCO.(RUBP=ribulose biphosphate enzyme , RUBISCO=ribulose biphosphate carboxylase oxygenase)
