During photosynthesis, the light reaction produces several key molecules. Which of these products are directly consumed in the stroma to drive the biosynthetic phase?

Options

  1. AATP and O2\mathrm{O}_2
  2. BATP and NADPH
  3. CADP and NADP+^+
  4. DNADPH and H2O\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}

Correct answer

B. ATP and NADPH

Step-by-step solution

During the light reaction of photosynthesis, light energy is captured to produce ATP and NADPH, with O2\mathrm{O}_2 being released as a byproduct.

The O2\mathrm{O}_2 diffuses out of the chloroplast, while ATP and NADPH are released into the stroma.

In the stroma, ATP and NADPH are directly consumed in the biosynthetic phase (Calvin cycle) to drive the reduction of CO2\mathrm{CO}_2 into carbohydrates.

Answer: ATP and NADPH
