The Light-Independent reaction is the second stage or the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In the first stage the light dependent reaction takes in solar energy creating it into ATP and NADPH molecules

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Later converting Co2 (Carbon Dioxide) into carbohydrates like glucose

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Carbohydrates are better for long-term energy storage than ATP and NADPH.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is all from the lesson just converted to my words, luck you I had the tabs open

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The light-independent reactions can also be called the Calvin cycle. This cycle of reactions uses six molecules of carbon dioxide to produce a single six-carbon glucose molecule. ATP and NADPH, produced during the light-dependent reactions, provide the energy needed for the light-independent reactions to occur.
