Biosynthesis: Some G3P is used to make glucose and other sugars.

This process is called biosynthesis, or just synthesis, because the plant is making sugars.

Regeneration: Some G3P and ATP are used to regenerate RuBP, the 5-carbon sugar the plant started with.

The plant needs to move carbons around to reproduce the starting molecule so that it can start over again. This step is called the regeneration phase.

Plants use energy from the Sun, electrons from H2O, and carbon from CO2 to make sugars. You eat plants or organisms that ate plants. So, the energy and electrons stored in plant sugars during photosynthesis will ultimately be the energy and electrons your cells will use to make ATPs during cellular respiration. Therefore, it’s energy from the Sun, through the processes of photosynthesis and respiration, that’s ultimately used to run your cells.
