The light reactions of photosynthesis supply the Calvin cycle with
- A. light energy.
- B. CO2 and ATP.
- C. O2 and NADPH.
- D. ATP and NADPH.
Introduction:
The reaction directly dependent on light are called light reaction and occurs in the grana and stromal thylakoid of chloroplast. The light independent reaction is called the dark reaction. It occurs in the stroma of chloroplast.
Answer to Problem 1TYU
Correct answer:
Light reaction uses the sunlight to split water and pass electron through the photosystems to make energy for the production of sugar by the dark reaction. Therefore, option (D) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
Thylakoid present in the chloroplast has two types of photosystems. These help in the conversion of solar energy into the usable chemical energy. Photosystem I produces ATP only and photosystem II produces ATP and NADPH. These chemical forms of energy are used in Calvin cycle to make sugar.
Option (D) is given as “ATP and NADPH”.
“The light reaction of photosynthesis supply the Calvin cycle with ATP and NADPH”, it is the right answer.
Hence, option (D) is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (A) is given as “light energy”.
The light reaction requires light energy to produce, ATP and NADPH molecules. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option (B) is given as “
Carbon di oxide is supplied to the calvin cycle but not the ATP. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option (C) is given as “
NADPH and oxygen are given by the light reaction but oxygen is not supplied to the Calvin cycle, it has no use in it. So, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (A) (B) and (C) are incorrect.
The light reaction provides the dark reaction, Calvin cycle, with ATP and NADPH for making organic products.

- Imagine you are a botanist. Below are characteristics of a never-before described plant species recently identified as part of the ‘All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory’ (ATBI). Field Notes: Specimen collected from shaded area along stream in South Cumberland State Park (Grundy County, TN). Laboratory Analysis: Body: Large leaves emerging from underground rhizome. Size: 63 cm Chromosomal Analysis: Plant body is diploid—chromosome number of 44. Lignin test: Positive Cuticle: Present Leaves: Present—large with branched veins. Underside has sori (containing haploid spores). Roots: Present—branch from the inside. Stem: Present—vascular tissue (xylem & phloem) present. Life History: Diploid sporophyte dominant generation. Haploid spores germinate into heart-shaped, haploid, gametophyte. Water required for fertilization; no seed is produced. Diploid zygote develops into sporophyte.
