A) used in light-independent reactions
B) complex carbohydrates and proteins

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The products of light-dependent reactions, such as ATP and NADPH, are used in the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) to synthesize glucose from carbon dioxide. Oxygen is also a product of light-dependent reactions, but it is not used in the Calvin cycle; instead, it is released as a byproduct.
