Question

Which of the following statements about photosynthesis is true?

• A. the light-dependent reactions can occur only in the light, the light-independent reactions only in the dark
• B. photorespiration is more efficient at producing glucose than is photosynthesis
• C. the light-dependent reactions produce the energy-rich compounds that are used to run the light- independent reactions
• D. all of the above are true

Answer 1

The correct option is C

the light-dependent reactions produce the energy-rich compounds that are used to run the light- independent reactions

The energy generated during the light reactions is used to fix CO${}_2$ to a carbohydrate.
