Where do the dark reactions take place? 

• thylakoid membrane
• lumen
• stroma

What does NADPH do? 

• carries electrons to the Calvin cycle
• carries electrons to the ETC

What happens to NADPH and ATP after they are used in the Calvin Cycle?

• they recycle back to the light reactions
• they are used to make G3P

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the

• light reactions and respiration
• dark reactions and the Calvin cycle 
• light reactions and the Calvin cycle
• dark reactions and fermentation

In green plants, the primary function of the Calvin cycle is to

• Use ATP to release carbon
• Split water to release oxygen.
• Construct simple sugars from carbon dioxide.
• Use NADPH to release carbon
