h₂o
atp
o₂
what molecules are produced during the light reactions and are used during the calvin cycle?
glucose
oxygen
atp
carbon dioxide
nadph

Explanation:

• First Question: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) and water (\(H_2O\)) to produce glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) and oxygen (\(O_2\)). ATP is mainly produced in cellular respiration (though there is some ATP in the light - dependent reactions of photosynthesis, but it is not a major end - product of the overall photosynthesis process like glucose and oxygen). \(CO_2\) and \(H_2O\) are reactants, not products.
• Second Question: In the light reactions of photosynthesis, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate - hydrogen) are produced. These are then used in the Calvin cycle (light - independent reactions) for carbon fixation. Glucose is a product of the Calvin cycle. Oxygen is a by - product of the light reactions but is not used in the Calvin cycle. Carbon dioxide is a reactant in the Calvin cycle.

Answer:

• First Question: \(C_6H_{12}O_6\), \(O_2\)
• Second Question: ATP, NADPH
