Which of the following are products of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis that are USED in the light-independent reactions?

• CO2 and glucose

• H2O and O2

• O2 and glucose

• ATP and NADPH

The figure shows the current composition of the Earth's atmosphere. What would be different about the composition before the evolution of photosynthetic organisms?

• The trace elements section would have been smaller

• The nitrogen component would be larger

• The oxygen component would have been smaller

• The oxygen component would have been larger

Explain the purpose of the light-dependent stage of photosynthesis. Include: where it happens in the chloroplast, what reactant is used, what product is made, and what moves on to the next step. (5 points)
