Which of the following statements about the light-dependent reactions is true?
Correct Answer: The light-dependent reactions produce ATP and NADPH.
- Step 1: Understand that light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
- Step 2: Know that these reactions require sunlight to take place.
- Step 3: Recognize that during these reactions, light energy is converted into chemical energy.
- Step 4: Identify that ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is produced as an energy carrier.
- Step 5: Acknowledge that NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is also produced, which is used in the next stage of photosynthesis.
- Step 6: Conclude that the statement 'The light-dependent reactions produce ATP and NADPH' is true.
