Which of the following statements best represents the relationships between the light reactions and the Calvin cycle?

• The light reactions provide ATP and NADPH to the Calvin cycle, and the Calvin cycle returns ADP, Pi, and NADP+ to the light reactions.

• The light reactions provide ATP and NADPH to the carbon fixation step of the Calvin cycle, and the Calvin cycle provides water and electrons to the light reactions.

• The light reactions supply the Calvin cycle with CO2 to produce sugars, and the Calvin cycle supplies the light reactions with sugars to produce ATP.

• The light reactions provide the Calvin cycle with oxygen for carbon fixation, and the Calvin cycle provides the light reactions with sugars to produce ATP.

Which option best explains how photosystem II produces a high energy molecule?

• excited electrons from chlorophyll pass though an ETC and are captured by NADP+ to make NADPH.

• excited electrons from chlorophyll pass though an ETC that pumps H+ into the thylakoid. ATP synthase uses the H+ concentration gradient to make ATP.

• excited electrons from chlorophyll pass though an ETC that pumps H+ into the thylakoid. The H+ is used to convert NADP+ to NADPH.
