Question

The light independent reactions produce ______________ and _______________ which are used in the light dependent reactions.

A) NADP+, ADP
B) NADPH, ATP
C) NADP+, ATP Eliminate
D) NADPH, ADP

Answer 1

The light independent reactions produce NADP+ and ADP which are used in the light dependent reactions.

A) NADP+, ADP

Answer 2

ADP stands for Adenosine DiphosPhate. ADP is a compound with two instead of three phosphate groups.

During light-independent reactions, ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions are used to produce high-energy sugars that can be stored for a long ADP which are used in the light dependent reactions. Correct answer: D
