The Calvin cycle in plants is responsible for the reduction of CO2 for synthesis of
a) Amino acids
b) Nucleotides
c) Hexose sugars
d) Cellulose
e) Urea

First stage includes carbon dioxide fixation with the help of 1,5-bisphosphate and ribulose
Second stage includes the synthesis of Hexose sugar by reducing carbon dioxide
Third stage includes the regeneration of 1,5-bisphosphate and ribulose.

The carbon dioxide molecule reacts with 1,5-bisphosphate and ribulose leading to the formation of an unstable compound of six-carbon, which is further rapidly hydrolyzed to generate two 3-phosphoglycerate molecules.

Other ways of synthesizing hexose sugars by reducing Carbon dioxide in the photosynthetic world is the reverse mode of citric acid cycle running.
