Best Answer

Light reactions give off energy carrying molecules such as ATP and NADH. The energy carrying molecules are then taken to the Calvin Cycle to be turned into gluclose.

What do plants get their food from?

Plants do not make food at night because food (glucose) production is dependent upon light. Photosynthesis is powered by sunlights energy producing NADPH, and ATP. These molecules are essential for the production of glucose in the calvin cycle. Therefore without the light dependent reactions, the light independent reactions associated with photosynthesis cannot take place.


What is the role of energy in photosynthesis?

The energy formed in the light reactions of photosynthesis is used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose during the Calvin cycle (dark reactions).
