Answer:

the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis are also known as the

Calvin cycle or the Calvin-Benson cycle, or the dark reactions.

Once in the mesophyll cells, Carbon Dioxide diffuses into the stroma of the chloroplast, the site of light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.

The Calvin cycle occurs in three stages:

  1. fixation,
  2. reduction, and
  3. regeneration

Cheers!
