2. Light-INdependent Reaction

• What is the light-independent reaction also called?

  The Calvin Cycle
• What does this process NOT USE?

  Does not use LIGHT ENERGY DIRECTLY

  • BUT it relies on the products of the light-dependent reaction
• Where does the light-independent reaction occur?

  in the stroma of the chloroplast
• What happens in the light-independent reaction?

  The ATP and REDUCED NADP from the light-dependent reaction supply the energy and hydrogen to make simple sugars from CO2
