question 10

Multiple Choice

Why do the light reactions have both cyclic and noncyclic electron pathways?

• C)to provide more electrons from water than would be released by the noncyclic pathway
• D)because the light-independent reactions require ATP and NADPH in different amounts than are generated by noncyclic electron flow
