Which of the following describes the process of the light-independent reaction in photosynthesis?
|
|
the absorption and conversion of light energy to ATP and NADPH
|
|
|
the processing of glucose to make pyruvate or pyruvic acid and release ATP
|
|
|
the use of ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 to sugars
|

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The light independent process (also called dark reactions or the Calvin-Benson cycle) takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast. Carbon dioxide is modified by series of chemical reactions to form carbohydrates. The energy for these reactions comes from ATP and NADPH generated during the light dependent process.
Detailed explanation-2: -Which of the following statements best describes the relationship between the light-dependent and light-independent reactions of photosynthesis? The light-dependent reactions produce ATP and NADPH, which are then used by the light-independent reactions.
