Explanation:

In photosynthesis, the light - dependent reactions produce ATP and NADPH. The Calvin cycle (light - independent reactions) uses these products. ATP provides the energy needed for the chemical reactions in the Calvin cycle to build glucose. NADPH provides the reducing power (electrons) that is also essential for the synthesis of glucose in the Calvin cycle. So, ATP is matched with "energy for building glucose", and NADPH is also involved in the process of building glucose (providing electrons for the reduction steps).

Answer:

• ATP: energy for building glucose
• NADPH: (involved in providing electrons for) building glucose (Note: If we assume the other option related to building glucose is what NADPH is matched to, since the Calvin cycle uses both ATP (energy) and NADPH (reducing agent) to convert CO₂ into glucose. If there was another option like "electrons for reducing carbon" or similar, but based on the given option "energy for building glucose" is for ATP, and NADPH is used for the reduction part of building glucose. Since the only option given is "energy for building glucose", but actually, the correct matching is: ATP - energy for building glucose; NADPH - (provides electrons for) building glucose (the reducing power for building glucose). But with the given option, the ATP is matched to "energy for building glucose", and NADPH is also used in the building of glucose (the reduction of 3 - PGA to G3P etc. which requires NADPH's electrons). So the matching is:

ATP → energy for building glucose
NADPH → (the other role in) building glucose (but with the given option, we can say that both are used in building glucose, with ATP as energy and NADPH as the reducing agent. So the answer is:
ATP: energy for building glucose
NADPH: (in the process of) building glucose (since it provides the electrons needed for the reduction steps in glucose synthesis in the Calvin cycle)
