PHOTOSYNTHESIS

C 4 PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Plants use the following reactants for the light reaction
A
Water and CO2
B
Water and NADPH
C
Water and NADP+
D
NADPH and ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The net effect of these steps is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. 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-2: -Light dependent reactions convert solar energy to chemical energy (in the form of ATP and NADPH). Sunlight and H2O are the reactant of the light dependent reaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -The reactants involved in the light reaction are NADP, ADP, and water molecules. After the completion of light reactions, the products obtained are the energy-rich molecules ATP NADPH, and oxygen, the last of which is already considered a by-product of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Oxygen are the products of the light reactions of photosynthesis. Light energy and water are the reactants of the light reactions, while ATP, NADPH, and carbon dioxide are the reactants of the dark reactions.
