Definitions:

Calvin Cycle

A series of biochemical reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts in plants, converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose using ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions of photosynthesis.

NADPH

A coenzyme known as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate plays a crucial role in anabolic reactions by serving as a reducing agent during biosynthetic processes.

ATP

Within cells, the molecule adenosine triphosphate is crucial for energy conveyance essential for metabolic functions.

C4 Pathway

A photosynthetic process in some plants that captures carbon dioxide in a four-carbon compound, allowing them to thrive in high temperatures and light intensities.
