science chemistryWhat are the reactants and products of the light reaction?
In this manner, what are the reactants and products of Calvin cycle?
The reactions of the Calvin cycle add carbon (from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere) to a simple five-carbon molecule called RuBP. These reactions use chemical energy from NADPH and ATP that were produced in the light reactions. The final product of the Calvin cycle is glucose.
One may also ask, what are the reactants of the light dependent reactions?
Light-Dependent Reactions The reactants in the light-dependent chemical reaction are adenosine diphosphate (ADP), oxydized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) and the hydrogen in water.
products=Sugar, ADP and a third phosphate group, and NADP. Explain how the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis generate ATP, NADPH, and oxygen to light reactions. Water is split and provides O2 as a product as well as an electron for the photosystem which is then excited.
