Answer: The correct answer for the blank is -

Calvin cycle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calvin cycle or dark reaction is the second stage of photosynthesis (process of formation of food in green plants and algae) that is independent of light.

During this reaction, the products of first stage (that is light dependent phase) that are ATP and NADPH are utilised for the fixation of carbon dioxide so as to form food (glucose, which is a carbohydrate).
