In the second step of the Calvin-Benson cycle, the enzyme NADPH and ATP are needed to convert PGA (3-phosphoglycerate) into G3P (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate).

ATP, NADPH, and hydrogen ions are used in the Calvin cycle to convert PGA (3-phosphoglycerate) into G3P (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate), which is a precursor molecule used to eventually produce glucose and other carbohydrates.
The three-carbon molecules of PGA are converted to energy-rich G3P sugar molecules by the process of photosynthesis, specifically during the Calvin cycle. This conversion involves a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions that ultimately produce G3P, a crucial intermediate in the production of glucose and other carbohydrates. The energy needed for this process is derived from sunlight and carried out in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
G3p You have to capitalize the "p". "G3P" ~Jason
In the Calvin Cycle, ATP and NADPH are used to reduce 3-PGA into G3P.
The three basic events of light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) are carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration of RuBP. Carbon fixation involves utilizing CO2 to convert it into a usable form (3-PGA). Reduction involves converting 3-PGA into G3P using ATP and NADPH. Regeneration of RuBP involves converting G3P into RuBP to restart the cycle.
ATP and NADPH novanet :)
Three molecules of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) are needed to synthesize one molecule of glucose in the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis.
