Answer:

The light reactions of photosynthesis supply the calvin cycle with ATP and NADPH.

Explanation:

In the light reaction the energy from photons present in the sunlight is used to split water into oxygen, hydrogen ions, and electron. These electrons moves through the electron transport chain and produce chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

This ATP and NADPH is supplied to the Calvin cycle and the energy released by these molecules is used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose molecules with the help of the enzyme RuBisCo. As Calvin cycle does not require light, therefore, it is a light-independent reaction.

Therefore the light reactions of photosynthesis supply the Calvin cycle with ATP and NADPH.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

The two cells of the similar shape, and size have different levels of the ongoing metabolic activity. On one hand, the cell a is metabolically quiet, which means that no energy consuming chemical reactions are taking place in this cell. On the other hand, the cell b is actively consuming the surrounding oxygen. In this scenario, the oxygen will more quickly diffuse into the cell b because the diffusion gradient for oxygen in this cell is steeper than in the cell a.

Hence, the blanks can be filled with 'b and the diffusion gradient is steeper' respectively.
