Products of Light Reaction

Asked by Kiran Patel · 1 year ago

What are the main products of the light reaction in photosynthesis?

1 Answer

The main products of the light reaction in photosynthesis are:

  • ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate): A high-energy molecule produced through photophosphorylation
  • NADPH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate): A reduced electron carrier
  • Oxygen: Released as a by-product from the splitting of water molecules
These products are then used in the Calvin cycle (dark reaction) to produce glucose.
