Question

question 28 (1 point) what molecules are produced during the light - dependent reactions that are needed for the next step? a o₂ and h₂o b atp and nadph c adp and nadp⁺ d co₂ and glucose

Explanation:

During the light - dependent reactions of photosynthesis, water is split to release \(O_2\), and through the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis, ATP is synthesized. Also, \(NADP^+\) is reduced to \(NADPH\). These ATP and \(NADPH\) are then used in the light - independent reactions (Calvin cycle) for the reduction of \(CO_2\) to form glucose. \(O_2\) is a by - product and \(H_2O\) is consumed in the light - dependent reactions. \(CO_2\) and glucose are products of the light - independent reactions. \(ADP\) and \(NADP^+\) are reactants (regenerated) in the light - dependent reactions.

Answer:

B. ATP and NADPH
