Which statement best summarizes how the light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) work together during photosynthesis?

• The light-dependent reactions take in glucose (food energy) and the light-independent reactions use the glucose to make ATP

• The light-dependent reactions take in glucose (food energy) and the light-independent reactions use the glucose to make energy in the form of sunlight

• The light-dependent reactions capture energy and the light-independent reactions use that energy to make glucose

• The light-dependent reactions capture energy and the light-independent reactions use that energy to make ATP
