Summary Introduction

To review:

The pathway that has sugar phosphate intermediates that are also present in the Calvin cycle and explain the evolution of the two pathways with respect to common sugars.

Introduction:

The Calvin cycle is a mixture of gluconeogenic reactions, where most of the reactions are a non-oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway and several other reactions. In the Calvin cycle, carbon is reduced. The Calvin cycle is a part of the photosynthesis reaction that is totally independent of light.
