A. The light reactions are working completely, but the Calvin cycle is running much slower.
B. The algaecide has sped up the process of cellular respiration. C. The algae cannot make sugar because it is not making NADPH. D. Photosynthesis is working normally, but cellular respiration has stopped. E. Chlorophyll is failing to release electrons when struck by light.
