Overview of the Calvin Cycle and Carbon Fixation Poster

The Calvin cycle or Calvin–Benson-Bassham cycle or reductive pentose phosphate cycle or C3 cycle or CBB cycle is a series of biochemical redox reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts in photosynthetic organisms. It was discovered by Melvin Calvin, James Bassham, and Andrew Benson at the University of California, Berkeley by using the radioactive isotope carbon-14. It is one of the light-independant (dark) reactions, used for carbon fixation. Image reproduction rights can be found in the link near the bottom of this description.
