Question

What is one role of ATP in the light-independent reaction of photosynthesis?

ATP supplies the energy to produce glucose and other carbohydrates.
ATP is produced when water molecules are split and chlorophyll electrons are excited.
ATP supplies the energy to split water molecules.
ATP produces CO2 and O2 molecules.

Answer 1

The answer is ATP supplies the energy to produce glucose and other carbohydrates. ATP is significant in the reduction step in the Calvin cycle of the dark stage of photosynthesis. It phosphorylates a 3-PGA ( 3-Phosphoglyceric acid) molecule before it is reduced by NADPH to a G3P (glycerate 3-phosphate) molecule.
