during the light-independent phase of photosynthesis, the plant secretes or wastes some energy by putting it into effect. this is done through the Calvin cycle and glycolysis. the light-independent phase requires glucose which is made during the light-dependent phase. Hope this helps!

∙ 10y agoThere are three main phases of the light-independent reactions: fixation, reduction, regeneration of RuBP.
- During fixation, RuBisCO (ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxidase) fixates a carbon to RuBP (ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate) to make 3-phosphoglycerate. There are three RuBP's and each one makes two 3-phosphoglycerates. Ergo, there are six 3-phosphoglycerates.
- During the reduction phase, 6 ATP and 6 NADPH are used to reduce the 3-phosphoglycerate to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P). There are 6 G3P molecules and one will be used to make the six carbon sugar, glucose.
- During regeneration, 3 ATP are used to convert the G3P back into 3 RuBP's. This will restart the cycle.

Is Calvin cycle light dependent or light independent?
light independent It does not need light energy directly.It uses light energy captured in light reaction
What is the light dependent phase?
The "light dependent phase" or "light-dependent reaction" is a phase in photosynthesis in which light is absorbed by the photosystems (PS I and PS II) in the thylakoid membranes and electrons flow through the electron transport chains.
What happens during the G hase?
What happens during the G2 phase is that cells grow rapidly and make protein.

How is carbon dioxide converted into glucose during the light independent phase?
Carbon dioxide is not energized into glucose during the Dark Phase.

there is a reason. it does not need light.
Light independent phase?
It is called the dark combining.

What is the light dependent phase?
The "light dependent phase" or "light-dependent reaction" is a phase in photosynthesis in which light is absorbed by the photosystems (PS I and PS II) in the thylakoid membranes and electrons flow through the electron transport chains.
