PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Photosynthesis can be divided into two steps:the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.
A
The Calvin cycle converts water molecules into oxygen gas as a byproduct of its reactions.
B
The light-dependent reactions use ATP from the Calvin cycle, and the Calvin cycle uses energy from absorbed sunlight.
C
The light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane, and the Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma.
D
During the light-dependent reactions, carbon dioxide is fixed to produce sugars that form glucose.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The reactions that make up the process of photosynthesis can be divided into light-dependent reactions, which take place in the thylakoids, and light-independent reactions (also known as dark reactions or the Calvin cycle), which take place in the stroma.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. During the first stage, the energy from sunlight is absorbed by the chloroplast. Water is used, and oxygen is produced during this part of the process. During the second stage, carbon dioxide is used, and glucose is produced.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reactions of the Calvin cycle The Calvin cycle reactions can be divided into three main stages: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration of the starting molecule.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Calvin cycle is not totally independent of light since it relies on ATP and NADH, which are products of the light-dependent reactions. The light-independent reactions of the Calvin cycle can be organized into three basic stages: fixation, reduction, and regeneration.
