Question

1. in photosynthesis, the primary purpose of the light-dependent reactions is to produce

glucose and oxygen
carbon dioxide and water
atp and nadph
pyruvate and atp

Explanation:

In photosynthesis, light - dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes. The main goal of these reactions is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). Glucose and oxygen are produced in the light - independent (Calvin cycle) reactions. Carbon dioxide and water are reactants in photosynthesis, not products of light - dependent reactions. Pyruvate is involved in cellular respiration, not photosynthesis.

Answer:

C. ATP and NADPH
