What are the reactants of the light dependent reactions? Select all that apply
A
photon of light
B
water
C
NADP+ and H+
D
ADP+ and P
E
oxygen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: 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-2: -The light-dependent reactions convert light energy into chemical energy. The goal of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis is to collect energy from the sun and break down water molecules to produce ATP and NADPH. These two energy-storing molecules are then used in the light-independent reactions.

Detailed explanation-3: -The light reaction is the first stage of the photosynthesis process in which solar energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. The three products of the light reaction of photosynthesis are ATP, NADPH, and O2.

Detailed explanation-4: -The light-dependent reactions convert light energy into chemical energy, producing ATP and NADPH. The light-dependent reactions can be summarized as follows: 12 H2O + 12 NADP+ + 18 ADP + 18 Pi + light and chlorophyll yields 6 O2 + 12 NADPH + 18 ATP.
