The Calvin Cycle is a Light Independent reaction meaning that it doesn't need light. Basically what happens is Carbon dioxide combines with a substance called ribulose bisphosphate. This reaction is catalysed by an enzyme called rubisco. This reaction produces 2 molecules of glycerate-3-phosphate (GP). In the presence of ATP and reduced NADP, GP can be reduced to form 2 molecules of triose phosphate. Some of these triose phosphate can form acids, acetyl coenzyme A and some regenerate ribulose bisphosphate so the cycle can start again. I'm assuming you are doing A level biology, sorry if its a little wordy!  more
