Question

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

Explanation:

In photosynthesis, the light - dependent reactions produce NADPH and ATP. These energy - rich molecules are then used in the light - independent reactions (Calvin cycle) to fix carbon dioxide and produce glucose. ADP and NADP are the starting materials for the light - dependent reactions, water is a reactant in the light - dependent reactions and glucose is a product of the light - independent reactions. Pyruvic acid is related to cellular respiration and ATP synthase is an enzyme, not an energy - containing compound used in the light - independent reactions.

Answer:

B. NADPH and ATP
