What are the 2 main products of the light reactions? (Choose ONE correct answer)

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

To answer this question, we first recall the key outputs of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. These reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes and convert light energy into chemical energy stored in carrier molecules.

Option 1: Water and Oxygen. While water is involved as a substrate in the light reactions (it is split in photosystem II to release electrons, protons, and oxygen), the primary products are not water or molecular oxygen themselves. Oxygen is released as a byproduct, but not considered a main product alongside water.

Option 2: Water and ATP. Water is a reactant, not a product, of the light reactions, since it is consumed to provide electrons. ATP is indeed formed during photophosphorylation, making this part partially correct but false overall because water is misidentified as a product.

Option 3: ATP and NADPH. This combination correctly identifies the two main energy-rich products generated by the light-dependent reactions: ATP (via photophosphorylation) and NADPH (carried by NADP+ reduced by electrons). These molecules supply energy and reducing power for the subsequent Calvin cycle.

Option 4: Carbon dioxide and Oxygen. Carbon dioxide is fixed in the Calvin cycle, not produced in the light reactions; oxygen is released as a byproduct from water splitting, but this option pairs CO2 with O2 as main products, which is inaccurate for the light reactions.

In summary, the only option that accurately names the two primary products of the light-dependent reactions is ATP and NADPH, while the other choices mix reactants, byproducts, or incorrect pairings that do not reflect the actual outputs of this stage of photosynthesis.
