Yes, but not fix defined as repair something broken, more like fixation.
and your answer is {yes}
The Calvin cycle is a 'light independent cycle' that takes place in the chloroplasts. In this cycle, water and carbon dioxide is converted into organic compounds. The key enzyme involved is Rubisco.
Calvin cycle needs energy.This energy is obtained by ATP
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 Calvin cycle converts carbon dioxide to carbohydrate. CO2 --------> (CH2O) This process requires an energy source and a hydrogen source, as well as carbon dioxide. The energy source is ATP. The hydrogen source is NADPH. Both of these substances are produced by the light-dependent reactions. For more details search this site for "calvin cycle", "light dependent" and l"ight independent". Also see: http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/biocoach/photosynth/calvin1.htmlLight dependent - are photochemical reactions and involve excited electrons moving along an electron transport chain and result in the production of ATP and NAD PH which are used in the Calvin Cycle. There are no enzymes in the light stage and temperature has no effect on this stage. Reactions occur in the Alkaid membranes of the chloroplasts. The Calvin Cycle uses the ATP and NAD PH to fix CO2 using enzymes and so is affected by temperature. Reactions occur in the stroma of the chloroplasts.
They fix carbon into organic matter.

Yes, the light reactions are necessary in the Mesophyll cells of C4 plants. The reason light reactions should be done in the Mesophyll cells because it is essential in the making of CO2 for the Calvin Cycle in the bundle sheath cells. The Mesophyll cells do not contain Rubisco. Instead they fix carbon dioxide by combining it with a 3-carbon acid. Unlike Rubisco, the enzyme that catalyzes this reaction distinguishes well between carbon dioxide and oxygen. The resulting 4-carbon acid is rearranged and sends to the bundle sheath cells, as shown in Figure 4.22. There, carbon dioxide is released from the 4-carbon acid is rearranged and then transported to the bundle sheath cells, as shown in figure 4.22. There, carbon dioxide is released from the 4-carbon acid and fixed again by Rubisco, forming PGA by way of Calvin cycle.

no
No. Mitochondria does not fix carbon dioxide. It uses oxygen to produce energy for the cell.
PGAL is more commonly know as G3P, or glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. It is the final product of the Calvin Cycle, or the dark reaction in plants. Two G3P molecules, which are each 3-carbon compounds, go on to create glucose. RuBP is ribulose bis phosphate . It is an organic compound used in Calvin cycle, it is used to fix CO2 during Calvin cycle . where one CO2 molecule is covalently bonded to RuBP to form an unstable intermediary compound that later breaks down by an enzymatic reactions to form G3P. It is vital for carbon fixation in plants.
Some of the process that fix carbon dioxide are limewater + carbon dioxide equals calcium carbonate + water. Another is calcium carbonate + water + carbon dioxide = aqueous calcium bicarbonate. These equations work in reverse to release carbon dioxide.
C4 pathways has enzymes that can fix CO2 into 4 Carbon compounds even when the CO2 is low and the O2 is high. Those 4 Carbon compounds are then transported to other cells where the CO2 is released and enters the Calvin Cycle.
