Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
From which component of the light-dependent reactions does NADPH form most directly?
A
photosystem II
B
photosystem I
C
cytochrome complex
D
ATP synthase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -ATP synthase. From photosystem I component of the light-dependent reactions does NADPH form most directly. Option (b) is the correct answer.

Detailed explanation-2: -NADPH is formed on the stromal side of the thylakoid membrane, so it is released into the stroma.

Detailed explanation-3: -Electrons are transferred sequentially between the two photosystems, with photosystem I acting to generate NADPH and photosystem II acting to generate ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Under sunlight, photosynthetic electron transfer chains (PETC) are the primary source of NADPH. Plants use sunlight as a primary energy source for photosynthesis in chloroplasts (Ort and Yocum, 1996).

Detailed explanation-5: -2: The light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) has three stages. In stage 1, the enzyme RuBisCO adds carbon dioxide to RuBP, which immediately splits, producing two three-carbon 3-PGA molecules. In stage 2, two NADPH and two ATP are used to reduce 3-PGA to GA3P.
