1. The path of carbon fixation in dark reaction through intermediate compounds leading to the formation of sugar and starch was discovered by Calvin, Benson and their co-workers discovered the carbon fixation pathway. 

2. Path of carbon was studied with the help of radioactive tracer technique using Chlorella, a unicellular green alga and radioactive 14CO2 .

3. With the help of radioactive carbon, it becomes possible to trace the intermediate steps of fixation of 14CO2 .
