Question

The energy acquired in the light-dependent reactions is used in the light-independent reactions to build glucose molecules. How is this energy transferred from light-dependent to light-independent reactions?

Question 9 options:

in the bonds of ATP and NADPH molecules

in the bonds of 5-carbon ribulose molecules

in the bonds of 3-carbon phosphoglycerate molecules

in the bonds of carbon dioxide molecules

Answer 1

The energy obtained in light independent molecules are depend on ATP and NADPH to produce glucose from carbon dioxide molecule.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Photosynthesis is a process done by plants that have 2 stages - Light dependent reaction and Light independent reaction (Calvin cycle).

• In light dependent reaction,the light energy is converted into chemical energy with the help of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH ( nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) which is used in Calvin cycle that uses those energy obtained from light dependent reaction and produce glucose with the help of carbon dioxide.

• Steps-

(Light dependent reaction)

Chlorophyll absorb sunlight⇒convert it into chemical energy⇒formation of ATP & NADPH

(Light independent reaction)

ATP+NADPH+ Carbon dioxide= Carbohydrate(Glucose)
