Question

What is the function of CO2 in the light-independent reactions?

to play a role in electron transport between the photosystems
to bind with RuBP during the formation of glucose
to bind with water molecules to form sugar molecules
to break down into oxygen, which then releases into the atmosphere
to capture energy into energy carriers

Answer 6

oops read question wrong, its to bind with RuBP during the formation of glucose because Light-independent reactions take place in plant chloroplasts. In this process sugars are made from carbon dioxide. The process, known as the Calvin cycle, uses products of the light-dependent reactions (ATP and NADPH) and various enzymes. Therefore, the light-independent reaction cannot happen without the light-dependent reaction. Sugars made in the light-independent reactions are then moved around the plant by translocation.
