Which of the following molecules are products of the light reactions of photosynthesis that are utilised in the Calvin cycle?
A) CO₂ and glucose
B) H₂O and O₂
C) ADP, i, and NADP⁺
D) ATP and NADPH

Question

Which of the following molecules are products of the light reactions of photosynthesis that are utilised in the Calvin cycle?
A) CO₂ and glucose 
B) H₂O and O₂ 
C) ADP, i, and NADP⁺ 
D) ATP and NADPH

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ATP and NADPH are the products of light reactions of photosynthesis that are utilized in the Calvin cycle to fix CO₂ and generate glucose. CO₂ is not a product of light reactions, it is a substrate utilized in the Calvin cycle whereas glucose is the end product of the Calvin cycle. H₂O and O₂ are reactants and products of the light reactions respectively and ADP, Pi, and NADP⁺ are also utilized in the light reactions but not in the Calvin cycle.
