Well there are two possibilities...

Calvin cycle: Photosynthesis would be considered coupled with the Calvin cycle because the products of photosynthesis are used as reactants in the Calvin cycle. After the ETC of photosystem I, the NADP+ is reduced to NADPH, while the last member of the ETC is oxidized. This NADPH is used to donate the electron in the Calvin cycle. ATP is also a product of photosynthesis, more specifically the ETC between the two photosystems.

Cellular Respiration: Water is need by photosynthesizing organisms to donate electrons to the reaction center in the antenna complex of photosystem II. This electron is eventually added to NADP+ (as previously stated) and then deposited into the Calvin cycle where RuBP is fixed with carbon and is made into G3P. Our electron is still attached to one G3P, this G3P is going to be made into glucose (or sucrose, fructose, etc.). This glucose is used in cellular respiration where our electron may be stripped off during glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, or the Krebs's cycle. Either way it is transported to the mitochondrial ETC where it is "passed down" to oxygen. Oxygen is then reduced by our electron into water. This water can then be eventually used again in the beginning of photosynthesis completing a beautiful biological cycle.

What is a classic coupled reaction?

A classic coupled reaction is the hydrolysis of ATP, where energy released from the break down of ATP is used to drive an endergonic reaction. This coupling of reactions is common in many cellular processes, where the energy released from one reaction is utilized to power another reaction.
