What is the equation for the Calvin cycle?

Answer 1

There is no equation for calvin cycle alone as it part of a bigger process which can be represented by an equation.

Like any other reaction, photosynthesis has reactants and products. The light-dependent reaction uses water and produces oxygen, while the independent reaction uses carbon dioxide and produces glucose. The known equation for photosynthesis represents both stages of the process: water + carbon dioxide = oxygen + glucose.
