Question

The products of light reaction during photosynthesis include

• A. $ATP$ and $NADPH$
• B. $O_2$ and $NADP^{+}$
• C. $O_2$ and $H_2O$
• D. $NADP^{+}$ and $H_2O$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The light dependent reaction of photosynthesis uses light energy to make two molecules needed for the next stage photosynthesis. These include the energy storage molecule ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH. The light reaction takes place in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts
