Which of the following metabolic pathways uses ATP and NADPH that formed in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
A) the Calvin-Benson cycle
B) the Krebs cycle
C) glycolysis
D) aerobic respiration
E) the light-dependent reactions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Calvin-Benson cycle is a metabolic pathway that uses ATP and NADPH that were formed in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. This pathway is involved in the fixation of carbon dioxide into organic compounds, ultimately leading to the synthesis of glucose. The other choices listed (B, C, D, E) do not use the products of the light-dependent reactions directly.
