How are the light-capturing reactions and the Calvin cycle interdependent on each other? The Calvin cycle generates the CO2 that enters into the light-capturing reactions, while the light-capturing reactions generate the glucose that enters into the Calvin cycle.

The Calvin cycle accepts the electrons generated by the light-capturing reactions, while the light-capturing reactions regenerate the NADP. for the Calvin cycle.
The light-capturing reactions generate the ATP necessary to power the Calvin cycle, while the Calvin cycle generates that NADPH needed for the light-capturing reactions.
The Calvin cycle requires the ATP and NADPH produced in the light-capturing reactions, while the inputs to the light-capturing reactions are regenerated by the Calvin cycle.
