Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is not a product of light reaction of photosynthesis?
A
NADPH
B
NADH
C
Oxygen
D
ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In this reaction, the energy from ATP and NADPH are used to fix carbon dioxide (CO2). So NADH is not a product of the light reaction of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -When NAD oxidises a molecule by accepting electrons and adding hydrogen ions to the chemical, it produces NADH. The initial phase of photosynthesis is the light reaction, which converts solar energy into chemical energy. Solar energy is absorbed by chlorophyll during this process, and water is photolyzed.

Detailed explanation-3: -The NADPH and ATP obtained from the light reaction along with carbon dioxide is utilised to form glucose. Thus the correct answer is (A) NADPH and ATP are the products of light reaction.
