In the process of carbon fixation, RuBP attaches a CO2 to produce a six-carbon molecule, which is then split to produce two mole

Answer:

The 3GP is reduced to 2 molecules of 3 carbon compounds called TRIOSE PHOSPAHATE (TP) This reaction involves the supply of ATP and Co enzymes NADPH.

Most of the compound TP, is converted to regenerate ribulose biphospate,(RuBP) a compound for fixing C02,The reaction involved ATP. The remaining amount of TP condense to Hexose Phosphate used to produce glucose, cellulose, fatty acids amino acids .

Since there is continuous supply of RuBP;with enzyme RUBISCO and oxygen the Calvin Cycle continues.
