Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Other names for light-independent reactions include the Calvin cycle, the Calvin-Benson cycle, and dark reactions.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Calvin cycle is also known as the C3 cycle or light-independent or dark reaction of photosynthesis. However, it is most active during the day when NADPH and ATP are abundant.
