4.

Although it is called the "light-independent" reaction, the (a)   cycle can occur either in the absence or presence of sunlight.

5.

Select all answers below that correctly describe the differences between the light reactions and the Calvin cycle.

a)

The light reactions convert energy to ATP and NADPH, and the Calvin cycle uses this energy to convert carbon dioxide to glucose
