What two molecules are produced in the light reaction?
The goal of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis is to collect energy from the sun and break down water molecules to produce ATP and NADPH. These two energy-storing molecules are then used in the light-independent reactions.
What molecule is produced in the light-independent reactions?
In photosynthesis, light energy is used to transfer electrons from chlorophyll to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) in photosystem I and produces ATP (Figure 5). This metabolic energy is used to fixate CO2 in the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis (Calvin cycle).
What products are made at the end of the light reactions?
What are the end products of light reactions?
- Hint: The process of using the energy in sunlight to make food (glucose) is known as photosynthesis.
- Complete answer:
- Therefore, the end products are ATP and NADPH.
- Note: The ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions are used to make sugars in the Calvin cycle.
What 2 molecules are produced during the light reactions and used during the Calvin cycle?
What two molecules are produced by the light reactions and used to power the Calvin cycle? ATP and NADPH are both products of the light reactions and are used to power the Calvin cycle.
Which molecules are produced during the Calvin cycle?
Summary
- The reactions of the Calvin cycle add carbon (from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere) to a simple five-carbon molecule called RuBP.
- These reactions use chemical energy from NADPH and ATP that were produced in the light reactions.
- The final product of the Calvin cycle is glucose.
What are the products of light dependent and light-independent reactions?
The products of the light-dependent reactions, ATP and NADPH, have lifespans in the range of millionths of seconds, whereas the products of the light-independent reactions (carbohydrates and other forms of reduced carbon) can survive for hundreds of millions of years.
What are the products of light reactions that are used in the Calvin cycle?
How the products of the light reactions, ATP and NADPH, are used to fix carbon into sugars in the second stage of photosynthesis.
What are the 3 products of light-dependent reactions?
Glucose, ATP and O2
What two molecules are produced by the light reactions and used to power the Calvin cycle?
This illustration shows that ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions are used in the Calvin cycle to make sugar.
Which of the following molecules is produced during the light reactions of photosynthesis and used in the Calvin cycle reactions?
Explanation: ATP and NADPH are produced during the light dependent reaction, and are reactants necessary for the light independent reaction (Calvin Cycle) to occur. During the light independent reaction, ATP and NADPH are used to convert phosphoglycerate molecules (PGA) to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate molecules (G3P).
What two products of the light reaction are used up in the Calvin cycle?
How are the products produced in the light reactions used in the Calvin cycle?
The reactions of the Calvin cycle add carbon (from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere) to a simple five-carbon molecule called RuBP. These reactions use chemical energy from NADPH and ATP that were produced in the light reactions. The final product of the Calvin cycle is glucose.
