Detailed explanation-1: -The light-independent reaction is also recognized as the Calvin-Benson cycle, Calvin Cycle, and dark reaction. The name dark reaction creates confusion as the name shows the reaction takes place in darkness but it’s not true. This name is given to this because this reaction does not require sunlight for proceeding.
Detailed explanation-2: -The light independent process (also called dark reactions or the Calvin-Benson cycle) takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast. Carbon dioxide is modified by series of chemical reactions to form carbohydrates. The energy for these reactions comes from ATP and NADPH generated during the light dependent process.
Detailed explanation-3: -After the energy from the sun is converted and packaged into ATP and NADPH, the cell has the fuel needed to build carbohydrate molecules.
