In the Calvin cycle
The process of making sugar is called photosynthesis (photo-syn-the-sis).
Sugar is made through a process called sugar refining, where raw sugar is treated and puridied to produce the final refined sugar product. This process involves washing, filtering, and crystallizing the sugar to remove impurities and produce the desired quality of sugar.
No, sugar and oxygen are not made in leaves. Instead, they are produced during the process of photosynthesis that occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells within the leaves. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce sugar (glucose) and release oxygen as a byproduct.
Photosynthesis happens in two main stages, called the light-dependent stage and the light-independent stage. The light-independent stage is sometimes called the 'dark' stage. The light-dependent stage can only happen in the light. During this stage light is absorbed and turned into chemical energy (ATP). Oxygen is also produced. The light-independent stage can happen in the light or the dark ie it is independent of light! However, it needs substances made in the light-dependent stage so it cannot happen completely by itself. In the light-independent stage the energy trapped as ATP in the light-dependent stage is used to change carbon dioxide into sugar (glucose). There are more details to this process which I have covered in another answer: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_connects_the_light_dependent_reaction_to_the_light_independent_reaction See also: http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/biocoach/photosynth/calvin1.html
Carbon fixation takes place during the Calvin cycle, which is the second stage of photosynthesis. In this process, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is converted into organic compounds by using the energy obtained from light-dependent reactions.
sugar and oxygen
The formula for the sugar made by photosynthesis is C6H12O6, which is also known as glucose. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose as a source of energy.

Sugar is not needed by photosynthesis. Sugar is the product of photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis produces sugar. That is all. Sugar can be used to make complex carbohydrates such as starch or cellulose, but photosynthesis only makes sugar. It does not make anything else. Protein, for example, is not made by photosynthesis.
The sugar made during photosynthesis is important to both plants and animals because it is a source of energy. Sugar is stored in plants or the bodies of animals until it is needed and then converted to an energy.
Yes, a simple sugar is created during photosynthesis. This is how the plant creates and uses energy to live on.
