This is the ideal question! Thanks for asking!
Before we start, let's go through a mini-review.
Photosynthesis:
The complex process by which carbon dioxide, water, and certain inorganic salts are converted into carbohydrates by green plants, algae, and certain bacteria, using energy from the sun and chlorophyll.
Calvin Cycle:
A series of biochemical reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplast in photosynthetic organisms.
Now that we have gone through what these two terms are and their definitions, let's head onto the actual questions.
So the question asks, how is the process of photosynthesis taking place through Calvin Cycle?
In plants, carbon dioxide (CO2CO2C, O, start subscript, 2, end subscript) enters the interior of a leaf via pores called stomata and diffuses into the stroma of the chloroplast—the site of the Calvin cycle reactions, where sugar is synthesized. Because they are not primarily fueled by light, these reactions are often known as the "light-independent reactions."
Carbon atoms from CO2 CO2 C, O, start subscript, 2, and end subscript are fixed (incorporated into organic molecules) and utilized to create three-carbon sugars in the Calvin cycle. ATP and NADPH produced by the light reactions are used to power and support this activity. Calvin cycle reactions occur in the stroma, as opposed to light reactions, which occur in the thylakoid membrane (the inner space of chloroplasts).
