Which molecules are produced by the light-dependent reactions and used in the Calvin cycle?
Where in the chloroplast do the light-dependent reactions occur and what drives ATP synthesis there?
During the Calvin cycle, the enzyme ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) catalyzes which key reaction?
The oxygen released during photosynthesis comes from the splitting of H2O\mathrm{H_2O}H2O in the light-dependent reactions.
The Calvin cycle requires both ATP\mathrm{ATP}ATP and NADPH\mathrm{NADPH}NADPH produced by the light reactions to reduce 3-phosphoglycerate into triose phosphates.
