-Which of the following statements best represents the relationships between the light reactions and the Calvin cycle?
A)The light reactions provide ATP and NADPH to the Calvin cycle, and the cycle returns ADP, Pi, and NADP⁺ to the light reactions.
B)The light reactions provide ATP and NADPH to the carbon fixation step of the Calvin cycle, and the cycle provides water and electrons to the light reactions.
C)The light reactions supply the Calvin cycle with CO₂ to produce sugars, and the Calvin cycle supplies the light reactions with sugars to produce ATP.
D)The light reactions provide the Calvin cycle with oxygen for electron flow, and the Calvin cycle provides the light reactions with water to split.
E)There is no relationship between the light reactions and the Calvin cycle.

The light reactions provide ATP and NADPH to the Calvin cycle for the synthesis of sugars, and the Calvin cycle returns ADP, Pi, and NADP⁺ to the light reactions to continue the cycle. This reciprocal relationship is essential for the functioning of photosynthesis.
