Question

Which is not true regarding the light-independent reactions?

These reactions take place in the chloroplasts.

These reactions require ATP and NADPH made in the light-dependent reactions.

These reactions convert carbon dioxide into glucose molecules.

These reactions occur using three CO2CO2 molecules at a time.

Answer 1

1. thylakoid

2. phosphate

3. Water

4. Hydrolysis

5. Autotrophs

6. glucose

7. In the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, electrons become excited after photons strike the light-absorbing pigment chlorophyll. These excited electrons are then transferred from the chlorophyll to the electron transport chain. To replace the loss of electrons from the chlorophyll, water molecules present in chloroplasts are split in a process called photolysis. The separate components of water (oxygen, hydrogen, and electrons) each get recycled and used. The oxygen is released into the air animals breathe. The freed electrons replace those that exited via the electron transport chain. The released hydrogen helps to develop a proton gradient in the thylakoid membranes. This gradient helps to fuel the production of ATP.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The answer to this question would be: These reactions occur using three CO2CO2 molecules at a time.

The light-independent or also called dark reaction is the part of photosynthesis reaction that doesn't use light. This reaction was done in the stroma of the chloroplast and it uses the ATP and NADH produced by the light-dependent reaction. The amount of CO2 used should be 6 for every glucose
