Does photosynthesis use energy from ATP and high energy electrons from nadph produced in the light-dependent reactions to make glucose in the Calvin cycle?

Close, but no cigar!
All was correct until you got to the product of the Calvin cycle. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is the actual 3 carbon product of the Calvin cycle and from this, outside the Calvin cycle, many products can be made and glucose is one of them.
So you see this...,
6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
the equation of photosynthesis is slightly misleading. Google Calvin cycle pics. Naturally, ATP and NADPH do contribute their energy to that Calvin cycle.

What is the by product made in photosynthesis?
The byproducts of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose. These are made when the processes known as the Kalvin Cycle and the Krebs Cycle.
What are the 3 substances that are produced when water molecules are broken down in the light reactions?
Photolysis of water produce Oxygen. This is the main byproduct.
Where do the oxigens atoms in the O2 produced during photosynthesis come from?
It is produced from water. Water is broken down by photolysis to get electrons.
Is RuBP produced during cyclic electron flow in the light reactions of photosynthesis?
No , it is regenerated in Calvin cycle .
What are the dark reactions?
It is photosynthesis where light is not needed. It is a nickname for the Calvin-Benson cycle which is the second main step of photosynthesis. It utilizes the ATP and NADPH produced from the light-reactions as well as carbon dioxide from the air in order to produce glucose.
What is produced during the light dependent reactions and used the light independent reactions of photosynthesis?
ATP and NADPH
What is produced during the lights dependent reactions and used during the light independent reactions of photosynthesis?
ATP and NADPH
What is produced during the light dependent reactions of used during the light independent reactions of photosynthesis?
ATP and NADPH
What is oxygen in photosynthesis used for?
Oxygen is not use.Oxygen is produced in photosynthesis when breaking of water molecules to obtain electrons.
What is produced in green plant cells during the light dependent reactions?
photosynthesis or clorofil
Is oxygen product of photosynthesis?
yesIt is produced from water.Water is broken down to get electrons. As a result O2 is produced
What reaction is high energy sugars produced?
High energy sugars are produced during photosynthesis.
What the functions of NADPH?
An easily understood explanation is: NADPH carries high-energy electrons that were produced by light absorption in chlorophyll to chemical reactions elsewhere in the cell. NADPH is a chemical compound which gives hydrogen atom for the formation of the carbohydrate in the dark reactions of the photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is completed in two steps: Light reactions dark reactions Another explanation: NADPH provides a source of hydrogen for reduction reactions in photosynthesis. In the light independent reactions carbon dioxide is converted into carbohydrate: CO2 --------> CH2O NADPH provides the hydrogen needed for this reaction.
What is the by product made in photosynthesis?
The byproducts of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose. These are made when the processes known as the Kalvin Cycle and the Krebs Cycle.
How do plants convert the Carbon Dioxide they take in into Oxygen?
Plants incorporate inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) into organic compounds by the Calvin Cycle (light-independent reactions). However, the Calvin Cycle does not release oxygen. The oxygen produced in photosynthesis is actually released in the first stages of light-dependent reactions. Plant photosynthesis depends on an acyclical electron flow, and therefore to replenish electrons lost by the photosystems, water is split into protons, electrons, and oxygen to supply electrons to the photosystems. The protons are used to generate the proton gradient. The oxygen, which has no further use, is released from the plant. Therefore, the oxygen produced by photosynthesis is not from carbon dioxide, by from water.
