In and the Calvin-Benson Cycle . In CAM plants, carbon fixation actually ''does'' take place at night. // Regeneration of the substrate for this reaction requires light. Thus it is not that correct to call this reaction as light-independent reaction. CARBON FIXATION ]] The (the most common), C4 Carbon Fixation , and CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism). C3 fixation occurs as the first step of the Calvin-Benson cycle in all plants. C4 plants first fix carbon dioxide into Malate , which is then used to supply carbon dioxide in the middle of the night to the Calvin-Benson cycle. CAM plants perform a similar process. CALVIN CYCLE The Calvin-Benson Cycle takes Carbon Dioxide and converts it to Glucose , which the plant uses for energy. EXTERNAL LINKS |
