Answer:

The Calvin cycle requires the ATP and NADPH produced in the light-capturing reactions, while the inputs to the light-capturing reactions are regenerated by the Calvin cycle.

Step-by-step explanation:

This process is fueled by, and dependent on, ATP and NADPH from the light reactions. Unlike the light reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membrane, the reactions of the Calvin cycle take place in the stroma (the inner space of chloroplasts).
