Carbon fixation is a reaction
that uses chemical energy,
stored as ATP, to create
saccharides, using the
carbon dioxide in the air
as a raw material.

Saccharides

That's the carbon dioxide Carbon
that's produced by humans fixation
and other animals, isn’t it?

And the reaction also needs the
chemical energy that was created

by photophosphorylation.

First, CO2 bonds The chemical energy And this glyceraldehyde
with a substance of ATP and the reducing 3-phosphate is used
called ribulose-1, power of NADPH are used to produce glucose,
5-bisphosphate to to create two molecules fructose, and other
form two molecules of saccharides.
3-phosphoglycerate, of glyceraldehyde
which have three 3-phosphate from this
carbon atoms apiece.
3-phosphoglycerate.

carbon dioxide
So carbon dioxide

and then chemical
energy is used.
