Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is NOT a product of the light reactions?
A
Oxygen
B
NADPH
C
ATP
D
Glucose (Sugar)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So NADH is not a product of the light reaction of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Complete answer: NADH is not a product of light reaction of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -During the light reactions water is split and the by-product is oxygen. Oxygen is then released back into the atmosphere. Sugars are produced during the Calvin cycle and are not a direct product of the light reactions.

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: -Glucose is produced in the dark reaction. The dark reaction takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast (aqueous fluid surrounding thylakoid). In this reaction, carbon dioxide is fixed by using the energy of the ATP and NADPH produced in the first stage.
