Question

so atp gives ____________ to the light independent reactions while nadph gives high energy ____________ to the light independent reactions. energy, neutrons energy, electrons electrons, energy protons, energy energy, protons

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is an energy - carrying molecule. In the light - independent reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis, ATP provides energy. NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is formed in the light reactions. It has high - energy electrons which are used in the light - independent reactions for the reduction of carbon dioxide. Neutrons are not involved in these processes. Protons are more relevant in the context of the proton gradient in the light reactions (for ATP synthesis via chemiosmosis) rather than being directly given by NADPH to the light - independent reactions.

Answer:

energy, electrons
