Energy is carried from the light reaction to the carbon reaction by __________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ATP is the primary source of energy used to power the carbon reactions (also known as the Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis. It is produced by the light reactions and carries energy in the form of high-energy phosphate bonds. NADPH is also involved in the transfer of energy, serving as an electron carrier from the light reactions to the carbon reactions. However, it is not the primary carrier and is not sufficient on its own to power carbon fixation.
