Which set names the products of the light dependent reactions that the Calvin cycle subsequently consumes?
A.Oxygen and glucose
B.ADP, inorganic phosphate, and NADP+
C.Carbon dioxide and water
D.ATP and NADPH
Explanation
Core Concept
Electron flow through the thylakoid transport chain pumps protons into the lumen, and returning protons drive ATP synthase. Meanwhile electrons reaching photosystem I pass onward to NADP+, forming NADPH. These two energy rich molecules cross into the stroma, where the Calvin cycle spends their stored energy fixing CO2 into carbohydrate. Their depletion products, ADP and NADP+, cycle back for recharging.
Correct Answer
DATP and NADPH
