Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements about the light-independent reactions is true?
Correct Answer: The light-independent reactions produce glucose using ATP and NADPH.
  • Step 1: Understand that light-independent reactions are part of photosynthesis.
  • Step 2: Know that these reactions are also called the Calvin cycle.
  • Step 3: Learn that the Calvin cycle does not require light directly.
  • Step 4: Recognize that ATP and NADPH are energy carriers produced in the light-dependent reactions.
  • Step 5: Realize that the Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
