Detailed explanation-1: -The Calvin cycle is the term used for the reactions of photosynthesis that use the energy stored by the light-dependent reactions to form glucose and other carbohydrate molecules.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Calvin cycle is a process that plants and algae use to turn carbon dioxide from the air into sugar, the food autotrophs need to grow. Every living thing on Earth depends on the Calvin cycle. Plants depend on the Calvin cycle for energy and food.
Detailed explanation-3: -The carbohydrate products of the Calvin cycle are three-carbon sugar phosphate molecules, or “triose phosphates", namely, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P).
Detailed explanation-4: -Calvin cycle is also known as the C3 cycle or light-independent or dark reaction of photosynthesis. However, it is most active during the day when NADPH and ATP are abundant.
Detailed explanation-5: -During photosynthesis, leaves convert water and carbon dioxide to a kind of sugar called glucose.
