During photosynthesis, light energy is used in generating chemical free energy, stored in glucose. The light-independent Calvin cycle, also known (erroneously) as the "dark reaction" or "dark stage," uses the energy from short-lived electronically-excited carriers to convert CO2 and water into organic compounds that can be used by the organism (and by animals that feed on it).
