Which of the following are products of the light reactions of photosynthesis that are utilized in the Calvin cycle?
A) CO₂ and glucose
B) H₂O and O₂
C) ADP, ᵢ, and NADP⁺
D) electrons and H⁺
E) ATP and NADPH

Question

Which of the following are products of the light reactions of photosynthesis that are utilized in the Calvin cycle?
A) CO₂ and glucose 
B) H₂O and O₂ 
C) ADP, ᵢ, and NADP⁺ 
D) electrons and H⁺ 
E) ATP and NADPH

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ATP and NADPH are produced during the light reactions and are used as sources of energy and reducing power in the Calvin cycle. CO₂ and glucose are products of the Calvin cycle, while H₂O and O₂ are reactants of the light reactions. ADP, Pi, and NADP⁺ are regenerated in the light reactions but are not directly used in the Calvin cycle. Electrons and H⁺ are also involved in the light reactions but are not products utilized in the Calvin cycle.
