NEETBotanyPhotosynthesis in Higher Plants
What are the high-energy chemical intermediates formed during the light reactions?
Options
- AATP and NADPH
- BATP and FADH2
- CNADH and FADH2
- DGlucose and ATP
Correct answer
A. ATP and NADPH
Step-by-step solution
Light reactions or the ‘Photochemical’ phase include light absorption, water splitting, oxygen release, and the formation of high-energy chemical intermediates, ATP and NADPH. Several protein complexes are involved in the process. ) within the Photosystem I (PS I) and Photosystem II (PS II). These are named in the sequence of their discovery, and not in the sequence in which they function during the light reaction. The LHC are made up of hundreds of pigment molecules bound to proteins. Each photosystem has all the
