Question

Responses

They obtain energy directly from the sun.
They obtain energy directly from the sun.

They use the ADP and carbon dioxide produced during the light-dependent reactions.
They use the ADP and carbon dioxide produced during the light-dependent reactions.

They use the ATP and NADPH that are produced during the light-dependent reactions.
They use the ATP and NADPH that are produced during the light-dependent reactions.

The convert the 6-carbon sugars into 5-carbon sugars.

Answer 1

Photosynthetic organisms get the energy needed to make sugars during the dark reactions (also known as the Calvin cycle) from the ATP and NADPH that are produced during the light-dependent reactions. Therefore, the correct response is:

They use the ATP and NADPH that are produced during the light-dependent reactions.
