Question
question: the end products of light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis are ___ and atp. answer input: spelling counts but capitalization doesnt.
In the light - dependent reactions of photosynthesis, light energy is used to split water molecules (photolysis), generate ATP through photophosphorylation, and also produce NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, reduced form). NADPH and ATP are then used in the light - independent reactions (Calvin cycle) to fix carbon dioxide into organic compounds. So the end product along with ATP from light - dependent reactions is NADPH (or sometimes written as reduced NADP or \(\text{NADPH}_2\), but the standard answer here is NADPH).
