Concept explainers
To determine:
Whether the statement “NADPH and ATP cycle between the Calvin cycle and the light reactions constantly” is true or false.
Introduction:
The photosynthesis is a process in which the green plants and algae obtains their nutrients. This process takes place in chloroplast where chlorophyll molecules are present. The chloroplast contains the thylakoid molecules where light reaction takes place. The end product of the light reaction is the formation of ATP and NADPH which is an energy storing molecule which together helps in driving the Calvin cycle in stroma of chloroplast.
Correct statement:
The given statement “NADPH and ATP cycle between the Calvin cycle and the light reactions constantly” is true.
