CO2, along with ATP and NADPH, is used in the calvin-cycle to make G3P, which then, in most cases, is combined with other G3P to make Glucose.
They are not storing. but they make glucose as a carbohydrate.
The Calvin Cycle is a light-independent cycle, but it does not require darkness. although it can use light again it does not require it.
It takes three rounds of the Calvin cycle to fix three carbon molecules into glucose, therefore at the end of three Calvin cycles there are 9 ADP's produced, 3 NADH+'s produced and one glucose molecule.
The Krebs Cycle's purpose is to produce ATP that cells can use, occurs in animal cells. The Calvin Cycle is in chloroplasts and is used to produce glucose for cells. *
The process, or cycle, that plants use to make their own glucose is called the Calvin Cycle, also referred to as the "dark cycle."
Glucose is made after the plant gets the energy to make it from the sun.

I'm pretty sure that it takes 2 PGAL's to make 1 glucose . It takes 6 turns of the Calvin cycle since 3 turns give you 1 PGAL.

Light dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane. The Calvin Cycle takes place in the stroma. The light dependent reactions use light energy to make ATP and NADPH. The Calvin Cycle uses these to make CA3P and Co2.
Glucose actually isn't really formed in the Calvin Cycle. The product of the cycle is glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. This might look familiar - it is. This is the intermediate in glycolysis after the 6 carbon sugar splits into 3 carbon chunks. After the Calvin Cycle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate can be used directly as an immediate source of energy, or it can be modefied to become glucose (and then possibly paired to form sucrose for transport in the plant and then joined even more to make starch for storage in roots).
Yes, chlorophyll does "harvest light," but it doesn't make glucose; the Calvin Cycle does that.
