Ka whakamahia e tēnei tukanga te ATP me te NADPH i hangaia e nga pokapū urupare photosynthetic, i whakaahuatia i runga ake nei, hei huri i te CO2 ki te glycerate 3-phosphate, ka taea te huri ki te huka. Ka mahia tenei urupare whakanoho waro e te enzyme RuBisCO hei waahanga o te huringa Calvin <unk> Benson. E toru nga momo o te photosynthesis i roto i nga tipu, te C3 carbon fixation, te C4 carbon fixation me te CAM photosynthesis. He rereke te huarahi o te waro ki te huringa Calvin, me te C3 e whakauru tika ana i te CO2, i te mea ko te C4 me te CAM4 photosynthesis e whakauru tika ana ki te oxygen, me te hāora e whakaputahia ana hei hua o te hua. Ka taea hoki te whakamahi i te pūngao o te pūngao o te waro i roto i te huringa o te waro, hei huri i te pūngao ki te glycerate 3-phosphate, ka taea hoki te huri ki te glucose.
