    The document describes the Calvin cycle, which is composed of three phases: 1) Carbon fixation where the enzyme RuBisCO incorporates carbon from CO2 into organic compounds. 2) Reduction where the organic compounds are reduced. 3) Regeneration of RuBP where the enzyme transketolase is involved in regenerating RuBP to begin the cycle again and produce more three-carbon compounds that can later be used to form glucose and other carbohydrates.
