1) Carbon fixation: carbon dioxide combines with RuBP to form two molecules of 3-PGA. This reaction is catalyzed by rubisco. 2) Reduction: NADPH and ATM convert the 3-PGA molecules into G3P through reduction. 3) Regeneration: Some G3P molecules proceed to form glucose and others are recycled to regenerate the RuBP acceptor.
