The Light-Independent Reaction is also called the Calvin cycle.
- It takes place in the stroma of the chloroplasts.
- It makes a molecule called triose phosphate from carbon dioxide ([katex] CO_2 [/katex]) and ribulose biphosphate.
- The equation for this is [katex] \text{carbon dioxide} + \text{ribulose biphosphate} \rightarrow \text{triose phosphate} [/katex]
