Which of the following molecules are products of the light reactions of photosynthesis that are utilized 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 utilized 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 both products of the light reactions of photosynthesis that are utilized in the Calvin cycle to produce glucose. CO₂ and glucose are not products of the light reactions, but rather are produced in the Calvin cycle. H₂O and O₂ are reactants in the light reactions, but are not utilized in the Calvin cycle. ADP, Pi, and NADP⁺ are all reactants in the light reactions and produced in the Calvin cycle, not products of the light reactions utilized in the Calvin cycle.
