The Calvin system, also known as the Calvin cycle or C3 cycle, is a series of chemical reactions that occur in the chloroplasts of plants during photosynthesis. It converts carbon dioxide into glucose, a simple sugar molecule that serves as an energy source for the plant. The Calvin system is named after Melvin Calvin, the scientist who elucidated its mechanism in the 1950s.

∙ 13y agothe Calvin cycle uses 6 molecules of carbon dioxide to produce a single 6-carbon sugar molecules. the energy for the reaction that make this possible is supplied by compounds produced in the IDR. as photo synthesis proceeds, the Calvin cycle works steadily,removing carbon dioxides from the atmosphere and turning out energy -rich sugars. the plant uses the sugar to meet its energy needs and to build macromolecules needed for growth and development,including lipids,proteins,and complex carbohydrates such as cellulose. when other organisms eats plants,they,too, can use the energy and raw materials stored in these compounds.

Why can the Calvin cycle work at night but the photosystems connot?
Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast and utilizes the NADPH and ATP produced in the process of light dependent reaction( or what we say the z- scheme reaction). If both are present then the Calvin cycle can occur even at night. because the Calvin cycle is light independent reaction. whereas the photo system as asked in the question actually refers to light dependent reaction( or what we say the z- scheme reaction) requires light.
