DENDROLOGY

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

Detailed explanation-3: -The chemical reaction also produces a molecule called ATP and another molecule called NADPH. Both of these allow a cell to store energy. The ATP and NADPH also will take part in the synthesis part of photosynthesis. Notice that the light reaction makes no sugar.

Detailed explanation-4: -The light reactions and the Calvin cycle together convert light energy to the stored chemical energy of sugar. The plant can use the sugar to build other organic molecules. By converting light energy to chemical energy, photosynthesis is the first step in the flow of energy through an ecosystem.
