Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The 6-carbon molecule formed by carbon fixation immediately splits into two, 3-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA). In step two, 3-PGA is converted into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), a chemical used to make glucose and other sugars. Creating G3P is the ultimate objective of the Calvin cycle.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sugars created in the Calvin cycle are also used by plants for long-term energy storage, unlike ATP which is used up quickly after it is created. These plant sugars can also become a source of energy for animals who eat the plants, and predators who eat those herbivores.
