What is one role of ATP in the light-independent reaction of photosynthesis?

ATP supplies the energy to produce glucose and other carbohydrates.

ATP is produced when water molecules are split and chlorophyll electrons are excited.

ATP supplies the energy to split water molecules.

ATP produces CO2 and O2 molecules.

What is required for both the light-dependent and light-independent reactions to proceed?

energy

CO2

water

ATP and NADPH

Which statement about the light-independent reactions in photosynthesis is true?

They occur in the thylakoids.

They produce ATP and NADPH.

They release oxygen as waste.

They comprise the Calvin cycle.

Which process occurs during the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis?

Water molecules are split.

Carbon fixation occurs.

PGA is reduced.

RuBP is regenerated.

Which is an important difference between light-dependent (L-D) and light-independent (L-IND) reactions in photosynthesis?

The L-D reactions need CO2 and light energy, and the L-IND reactions needs water and O2.

The L-D reactions require light energy and water, and the L-IND reactions require ATP, NADPH, and CO2.

The L-D reactions can only occur during daylight, and the L-IND reactions can only occur during the night.

The L-D reactions need water and CO2, and the L-IND reactions need CO2 and light.

Which compound is produced during regeneration?

PGA

G3P

RuBP

rubisco
