LIGHT DEPENDENT REACTIONS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What comes out of the light DEPENDENT reactions?
A
ATP, NADPH, oxygen
B
ATP, oxygen
C
ADP, NADP+, glucose
D
ATP, glucose
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: -In the light-dependent reactions, which take place at the thylakoid membrane, chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight and then converts it into chemical energy with the use of water. The light-dependent reactions release oxygen as a byproduct as water is broken apart.

Detailed explanation-3: -ATP and NADPH produced by the light-dependent reactions of the photosystems are used by the Calvin cycle in the stroma of the chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The light-dependent reactions convert light energy into chemical energy, producing ATP and NADPH.
