Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following does NOT enter the light-dependent reactions?
A
CO2
B
H2O
C
Light
D
ADP & NADP+
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the Calvin cycle, which takes place in the stroma, the chemical energy derived from the light-dependent reactions drives both the capture of carbon in carbon dioxide molecules and the subsequent assembly of sugar molecules. The two reactions use carrier molecules to transport the energy from one to the other.

Detailed explanation-2: -Light-independent reaction is a series of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis not requiring light to proceed, and ultimately produce organic molecules from carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-3: -The synthesis of glucose occurs in stroma and this does not require light. Hence, the reaction for synthesis of glucose is a light-independent reaction.
