Explanation:

In photosynthesis, the Calvin cycle (light - independent reactions) uses the NADPH (which provides reducing power) and ATP (which provides energy) from the light - dependent reactions. The main purpose of the Calvin cycle is to fix carbon dioxide and build carbohydrate (specifically, glyceraldehyde - 3 - phosphate, which is used to make glucose and other sugars) molecules. So the blank should be filled with "carbohydrate" (or "sugar" or "glucose" - related carbohydrate molecules, with "carbohydrate" being a general and accurate term here).

Answer:

carbohydrate
