Light Independent Reaction Photosynthesis

The light independent stage is also known as

• The Calvin Cycle

• Glycolysis

• Krebs cycle

• Electron Transport Chain

What happens to NADPH and ATP after they are used in the light independent stage?

• They recycled back for the light dependent reaction

• They are used to make oxygen

• They are used for aerobic respiration

• They are broken down into their elements.

The light independent stage occurs in the ___________.

• Stroma

• Thylakoid Membrane

• Cytoplasm

• Chlorophyll

Where do NADP+ and ADP produced in the Calvin cycle go?

• Back to the light reactions

• out of the chloroplast

• Broken down into their elements

• Used for aerobic respiration

Which of the following is NOT a reactant of the light independent stage?

• NADPH

• ATP

• Oxygen

• Carbon dioxide

In green plants, the primary function of the light independent stage is to

• Use ATP to release carbon

• Split water to release oxygen.

• Construct sugar from carbon dioxide.

• Use NADPH to release carbon

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the

• light reactions and respiration

• dark reactions and the Calvin cycle

• light dependent reaction and the Calvin cycle

• dark reactions and fermentation

What does NADPH do?

• Carries electrons to the Light Dependent stage

• Carries electrons to the Electron Transport Chain

• Carries electrons to the break water into H and O

• Carries electrons for aerobic respiration
