Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is NOT produced in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
A
NADPH
B
sugars
C
hydrogen ions
D
ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Complete answer: NADH is not a product of light reaction of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The synthesis of glucose occurs in stroma and this does not require light. Hence, the reaction for synthesis of glucose is a light-independent reaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions are used to make sugars in the next stage of photosynthesis, the Calvin cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hence, the products of the light reaction are ATP and NADPH2. So, the correct answer is ATP and NADPH2.
