The product of light-independent reactions (also known as the Calvin cycle) is glucose.

Here's a breakdown:

* Light-dependent reactions use light energy to create ATP and NADPH.

* Light-independent reactions use the ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

This glucose is then used by the plant for various purposes, including:

* Energy: Glucose is broken down through cellular respiration to provide energy for the plant.

* Building blocks: Glucose is used to build other organic molecules, such as cellulose for cell walls and starch for storage.
