What is the primary function of ATP synthase in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
To split water and release oxygen
To transfer electrons from PSI to NADP+
To use a proton gradient to make ATP from ADP and P_i
To fix carbon dioxide into an organic molecule
During the light-dependent reactions, a high concentration of hydrogen ions ( H+ ) builds up inside the thylakoid lumen. How does ATP synthase directly use this gradient?
It pumps more H+ into the lumen using ATP
It allows H+ to diffuse into the stroma, coupling this flow to ATP formation
It uses H+ to reduce NADP+ to NADPH
It converts glucose into ATP as H+ flows
Why are ATP and NADPH necessary for the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions)?
They provide the energy and electrons needed to build carbohydrates from CO2
They break down glucose to release CO2
They supply oxygen for the splitting of water
They create the proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane
Which statement best explains the relationship between the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle?
The Calvin cycle produces ATP and NADPH used by the light reactions
The light reactions produce ATP and NADPH that power the Calvin cycle
Both stages independently produce glucose from CO2
Both stages occur in the thylakoid lumen and share the same enzymes
What is an immediate result of Photosystem II (PSII) absorbing light energy?
Water is split, releasing oxygen, electrons, and protons
NADP+ is reduced directly to NADPH
Carbon dioxide is fixed to RuBP
Glucose is synthesized from G3P
Which outcome is specifically associated with Photosystem I (PSI) during non-cyclic electron flow?
Splitting water to replace lost electrons
Pumping protons into the thylakoid lumen
Reducing NADP+ to NADPH using high-energy electrons
