Which of the following statements about the dark reactions is true?

The dark reactions, also called the Calvin cycle, use ATP and NADPH made during the light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into sugar. They occur in the chloroplast stroma, not the thylakoids, and do not directly convert light energy into chemical energy, so “Carbon dioxide is converted to sugar using ATP and NADPH” is the true statement.
