Question

question 38
the relationship between the light - dependent and light - independent reactions in photosynthesis is that
a the light - dependent and light - independent reactions both take place within the membranes of bacterial cells or thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts
b the atp made during the light - dependent reactions is used for the growth and development of the cell and the atp from the oxidation of glucose drives the light reactions
c the light - independent reactions are driven by the atp and nadph generated from the light reactions
d the energy stored in the glucose made during the calvin cycle is used to drive the light reactions

Explanation:

• In photosynthesis, light - dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes. They produce ATP and NADPH.
• Light - independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma of chloroplasts. These reactions use the ATP and NADPH from the light - dependent reactions to fix carbon dioxide and produce glucose.

Answer:

C. the light - independent reactions are driven by the ATP and NADPH generated from the light reactions
