SOMEONE HELP!!!!!! explain the processes that take place in the chloroplasts during the light-independent stages of photosynthesis, include what occurs, what is produced, and where this happens in both stages.

The Light-Independent reaction is the second stage or the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis
In the first stage the light dependent reaction takes in solar energy creating it into ATP and NADPH molecules
Later converting Co2 (Carbon Dioxide) into carbohydrates like glucose
thanks
Carbohydrates are better for long-term energy storage than ATP and NADPH.
this is all from the lesson just converted to my words, luck you I had the tabs open
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.
