Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which molecule is produced during the light reactions and used in the Calvin cycle?
  • Step 1: Understand that there are two main stages in photosynthesis: light reactions and the Calvin cycle.
  • Step 2: Know that light reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and require sunlight.
  • Step 3: Learn that during the light reactions, energy from sunlight is used to produce two important molecules: ATP and NADPH.
  • Step 4: Recognize that NADPH is a key molecule that carries energy and electrons.
  • Step 5: Understand that the Calvin cycle, which occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts, uses NADPH to help convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
