Besides ATP and O2, what other compound is produced as a result of the light dependent reactions?
|
|
NADPH (reduced NADP)
|
|
|
NADP+
|
|
|
Glucose
|
|
|
ADP

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘O2, NADPH2 and ATP’.
Detailed explanation-2: -The light-dependent reaction is a photochemical reaction taking place in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, where light energy is transformed into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH).
Detailed explanation-3: -During the light-dependent stage of photosynthesis: Reduced NADP is produced when hydrogen ions combine with the carrier molecule NADP using electrons from the photolysis of water. ATP is produced (from ADP and Pi by ATP synthase in a process called photophosphorylation (ADP + Pi
