Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What two forms of energy are produced from the light-dependent reaction?
A
Energy and water
B
ATP and ADP
C
ATP and NADPH
D
NADP and NADPH
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Light reaction is the first stage of photosynthesis process in which solar energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. The protein complexes and the pigment molecules help in the production of NADPH and ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -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: -In the light-dependent reactions, energy absorbed by sunlight is stored by two types of energy-carrier molecules: ATP and NADPH. The energy that these molecules carry is stored in a bond that holds a single atom to the molecule. For ATP, it is a phosphate atom, and for NADPH, it is a hydrogen atom.

Detailed explanation-4: -The light reaction of photosynthesis, also called the light-dependent stage, occurs at the beginning of photosynthesis and uses light energy, water, ADP, and NADP+ to produce oxygen, ATP, and NADPH.
