Detailed explanation-1: -The light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) use stored chemical energy from the light-dependent reactions to “fix” CO2 and create a product that can be converted into glucose. The ultimate goal of the light-independent reactions (or Calvin cycle) is to assemble a molecule of glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -The light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis utilizes water (H2O) and produces oxygen (O2). The light reactions of photosynthesis supply the Calvin cycle with carbon dioxide to produce sugars.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: The products of the light independent reaction are glucose, NADP+, and H2O. The reactants are CO2, NADPH, and ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Light-Independent Reactions: Producing Sugars They occur in the stroma of thylakoids and are commonly called the Calvin cycle. Six carbon dioxide molecules from the atmosphere enter the Calvin cycle and combine with 5-carbon compounds already present. They produce twelve 3-carbon molecules.

Detailed explanation-5: -The end products of the light reaction are ATP and NADPH, also known as assimilatory powers.
