Question

the two energy - containing compounds created in the light - dependent reactions that are used in the light - independent reactions are a adp and nadp b nadph and atp c water and glucose d pyruvic acid and atp synthase

Explanation:

In photosynthesis, the light - dependent reactions produce energy - containing compounds ATP and NADPH. These are then used in the light - independent reactions (Calvin cycle) to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. ADP and NADP are the starting materials for the light - dependent reactions and are regenerated during the process. Water is split in the light - dependent reactions and glucose is produced in the light - independent reactions. Pyruvic acid is a product of glycolysis, not directly related to the products of light - dependent reactions for use in light - independent reactions.

Answer:

B. NADPH and ATP
