Question 7 • HVA 26-27 IM Biology A
Light-independent reactions, or the Calvin cycle, use carbon dioxide along with ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions. They occur in the chloroplast stroma, where CO2 is combined with the five-carbon sugar RuBP. ATP and NADPH supply energy and reducing power to help make carbohydrate molecules, which can be used to produce glucose and other carbohydrates.
