To produce glucose

To generate ATP and NADPH needed for the Calvin cycle

To absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

To release oxygen into the atmosphere

It splits water molecules to release oxygen.

It directly synthesizes ATP.

It reduces NADP+ to NADPH.

It excites electrons to a higher energy level.

To trap energy from the sun

To release oxygen

To absorb carbon dioxide

To produce glucose

It is converted to glucose

It is used to produce ATP

It is a waste product

It is converted to RuBP

To produce glucose

To absorb sunlight

To release oxygen

To convert ATP to ADP
