For the following questions, compare the light reactions with the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis in plants.
-Produces three-carbon sugars
A)light reactions alone
B)the Calvin cycle alone
C)both the light reactions and the Calvin cycle
D)neither the light reactions nor the Calvin cycle
E)occurs in the chloroplast but is not part of photosynthesis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Calvin cycle is the process responsible for producing three-carbon sugars during photosynthesis. The light reactions, on the other hand, produce ATP and NADPH, which are used in the Calvin cycle to drive the production of sugars. Therefore, the correct answer is the Calvin cycle alone.
