Detailed explanation-1: -This stage obtains energy from ATP and NADPH formed during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. In this way, Calvin cycle becomes a pathway in which plants convert sunlight energy into long-term storage molecules, such as sugars. The energy from the ATP and NADPH is transferred to the sugars.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Calvin cycle is the term used for the reactions of photosynthesis that use the energy stored by the light-dependent reactions to form glucose and other carbohydrate molecules (Figure 1). Figure 1 The light-dependent reactions harness energy from the sun to produce ATP and NADPH.
Detailed explanation-3: -This illustration shows that ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions are used in the Calvin cycle to make sugar.
