Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
Which of the following is a product of the light reactions that is used in the Calvin cycle?
Correct Answer: NADPH
Step 1: Understand that the light reactions occur in the chloroplasts of plant cells when sunlight is absorbed.
Step 2: Know that during the light reactions, energy from sunlight is used to produce two important molecules: ATP and NADPH.
Step 3: Recognize that the Calvin cycle is the next stage of photosynthesis that occurs in the chloroplasts, using the products from the light reactions.
Step 4: Identify that NADPH is one of the products from the light reactions and is specifically used in the Calvin cycle to help convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
