Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context: Photosynthesis consists of two main stages - the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle). The light-independent reactions occur in the stroma of chloroplasts and do not require light directly.
Identify the inputs: The Calvin Cycle uses ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions, along with carbon dioxide (
), as inputs.
Understand the process: The Calvin Cycle involves a series of enzyme-mediated reactions that convert carbon dioxide and the energy from ATP and NADPH into organic molecules.
Identify the main product: The primary product of the Calvin Cycle is glucose (
), which is synthesized through the reduction of carbon dioxide.
Summarize the outcome: The light-independent reactions, or Calvin Cycle, result in the formation of glucose, which serves as an energy source for plants and other organisms.
