Light energy is converted into chemical energy through the formation of:
Correct answer: B. ATP an NADPH2
- A. NADPH
- B. ATP an NADPH2
- C. ADP
- D. RuBP
Explanation
During the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, light energy is captured and converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. These molecules are essential for the subsequent light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle), where they drive the synthesis of glucose. Option B is correct because it includes both ATP and NADPH, which are the products of the light-dependent reactions. Option A is incorrect because it only mentions NADPH, ignoring the role of ATP. Option C is incorrect because ADP is a precursor to ATP and not a final product of the light-dependent reactions. Option D is incorrect because RuBP is not involved in the light-dependent reactions but rather in the Calvin cycle, where it acts as a carbon dioxide acceptor.
