Hello everyone here We have a question that says live reactions of photosynthesis do not involve a conversion of light energy into chemical energy. Be Photo Systems one and two. C. Production of n A d ph bi n a B D p reductase or the production of glucose by reduction of carbon dioxide. Live reactions involve both photo systems one and 2. So B is incorrect. Light reaction split water called Photo License, which releases oxygen and protons. And these protons are used to reduce N I D p h in A. D. P. H carries high energy electrons and protons to the Calvin cycle, which produces glucose by reduction of carbon dioxide. So C. Is incorrect and A. Is incorrect. So our answer here is the production of glucose by reduction of carbon dioxide. Thank you for watching. Bye.
