Question

Which statements describe the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, which describe the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions of photosynthesis), and which describe both? Both the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle Light-dependent reactions Calvin cycle require water synthesize ATP and NADPH use CO2 produce sugars need ribulose bisphosphate use chlorophyll to capture light energy take place in the chloroplasts of plants generate oxygen gas Incorrect. One or more statements are misplaced. Water is split during photosynthesis to provide a source of hydrogen ions and electrons, which are used to replace the electrons that moved down the electron transport chain. The remaining oxygen atoms are not used in photosynthesis and leave the cell as oxygen gas. Which reactions move electrons down an electron transport chain?

Explanation / Answer

The following statements describe light - dependent reaction:

1. Use chloroplast to capture light.

2.requirs water

3. Generate oxygen gas.

4. Synthesize APT and NaDPH

The following statements describe Calvin cycle:

1. Uses CO2

2.Produces sugar.

3.Need ribulose biphosphate(RuBP)

Both light-dependent reaction and Calvin Cycle:

1. Both take place in chloroplast of plant.
