Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The light-independent reactions of the Calvin cycle can be organized into three basic stages: fixation, reduction, and regeneration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which statement about the light-independent reactions in photosynthesis is true? They comprise the Calvin cycle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Overview of the Calvin cycle These reactions are also called the light-independent reactions because they are not directly driven by light.

Detailed explanation-4: -The products of the light independent reaction are glucose, NADP+, and H2O. The reactants are CO2, NADPH, and ATP.
