Which substance from the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis is a source of energy for the light-independent reactions?
A
ADP
B
H2O
C
NADPH
D
pyruvic acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -ATP and NADPH move from the thylakoid into the stroma, where the energy they store is used to power the light-independent reactions.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Calvin cycle uses the ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions to produce high-energy sugars.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the first part of photosynthesis, the light-dependent reaction, pigment molecules absorb energy from sunlight. The most common and abundant pigment is chlorophyll a.
