Detailed explanation-1: -In the first stage of the Calvin cycle, the light-independent reactions are initiated and carbon dioxide is fixed. In the second stage of the C3 cycle, ATP and NADPH reduce 3PGA to G3P. ATP and NADPH are then converted into ATP and NADP+. In the last stage, RuBP is regenerated.
Detailed explanation-2: -The reactants are CO2, NADPH, and ATP.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: In order to produce sugar (usually in the form of glucose or fructose), the Calvin cycle uses atmospheric carbon dioxide, ATP and NADPH (both produced in the light reactions) as reactants to create glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (a 3-carbon sugar).
Detailed explanation-4: -The Calvin cycle is not totally independent of light since it relies on ATP and NADH, which are products of the light-dependent reactions. The light-independent reactions of the Calvin cycle can be organized into three basic stages: fixation, reduction, and regeneration.
Detailed explanation-5: -This illustration shows that ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions are used in the Calvin cycle to make sugar.
