Light Independent Reactions in Photosynthesis

Question 1 • 41111de1 ECAD Fall 2026 - Q2 - NM-Biology - S1

Check the statements about light-independent reactions in photosynthesis that are true.

Answer
A
Light-independent reactions requires carbon dioxide (CO2).
B
Light-independent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane.
C
Light-independent reactions involve the splitting of water molecules.
D
Light-independent reactions produce carbohydrates.

Explanation

The light-independent reactions, or Calvin cycle, use carbon dioxide to build carbohydrates, so A and D are true. They occur in the chloroplast stroma, not in the thylakoid membrane. Splitting water happens during the light-dependent reactions, so B and C are false.
