CO2, ATP, and NADH.... Sugar
The Calvin cycle is in plants and it works in conjunction with the photosystems that obtain energy from the sun. This energy is used in the Calvin cycle for plants to( utilize carbon dioxide precursors in the atmosphere) to make sugars,starches, and such that the plant needs to live and grow.
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.
During the Calvin cycle, 3 molecules of G3P are needed to make one molecule of a larger organic compound.
The regeneration of RuBP (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate) ensures that the Calvin cycle can make a continuous supply of glucose. This regeneration step allows the cycle to repeatedly fix carbon dioxide and synthesize glucose molecules.
The Calvin cycle is the dark reaction in plants, that results in formation of the glucose molecule. The Calvin Cycle synthesizes G3P Basically, Photosynthesis is divided up into the Light reactions and the Calvin Cycle. The "photo" part is the light reaction part, and the "synthesis" is the Calvin Cycle. The Calvin Cycle's whole existence is to produce sugar. It does this with incorporating CO2 to eventually produce G3P, a sugar that can go on to make glucose etc... The Calvin cycle is powered by NADPH and ATP, which come from the light reactions. Of course this is a simplified version, as there are a number of intermediate molecules, but the idea is the same.For more info I would recommend reading Campbell and Reece (6th ed, 2005)
Calvin cycle
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.
The Calvin cycle is in plants and it works in conjunction with the photosystems that obtain energy from the sun. This energy is used in the Calvin cycle for plants to( utilize carbon dioxide precursors in the atmosphere) to make sugars,starches, and such that the plant needs to live and grow.
The Calvin cycle is a metabolic pathway found in the stroma of the chloroplast in which carbon enters in the form of CO2 and leaves in the form of sugar.The cycle spends ATP as an energy source and consumes NADPH2 as reducing power for adding high energy electrons to make the sugar.
The process, or cycle, that plants use to make their own glucose is called the Calvin Cycle, also referred to as the "dark cycle."

The Calvin cycle is a carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere and the energy carried by ATP and NADPH to make simple sugars.
Carbon dioxide and RuBP combine to make PGA
They are not storing. but they make glucose as a carbohydrate.
The regeneration of RuBP (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate) ensures that the Calvin cycle can make a continuous supply of glucose. This regeneration step allows the cycle to repeatedly fix carbon dioxide and synthesize glucose molecules.
