Question

Which of the following is true of the light dependent reactions but not of the light independent reaction?

A. Also known as the Clavin cycle
B. Requires photons to occur
C. Stores energy for long time use
D. produces carbohydrate
I think it is b but I am not too sure. Can you help me?

Answer 1

It is (b). A light dependent reaction requires light particles (photons) in order for the reaction to occur.

Answer 2

Correct answer choice is:

B. Requires photons to occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

The light-dependent reactions utilize light energy to produce two molecules required for the following stage of photosynthesis: the energy warehouse molecule ATP and the decreased electron transport NADPH. In plants, the light reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of organelles termed chloroplasts.
