Question

from the following choices, identify those that are the inputs and outputs of the light reactions. (recall that inputs to chemical reactions are modified over the co form when the reaction is complete, it is an input.) drag each item to the appropriate bin. if the item is not an input to or an output from the light reactions, drag it to the “not input or output” bin. view available hint(s)

Explanation:

The light reactions of photosynthesis use light energy to convert ADP and NADP+ into ATP and NADPH, respectively. Water is split to release oxygen. So, inputs are ADP, NADP+, water, and light. Outputs are ATP, NADPH, and O₂. Glucose, G3P, and CO₂ are not part of the light reactions (glucose and G3P are from the Calvin cycle, CO₂ is also used in the Calvin cycle).

Answer:

• Input: ADP, NADP+, water, light
• Output: ATP, NADPH, O₂
• Not input or output: glucose, G3P, CO₂
