BIO 102 Mechanisms of Plant Nutrition and Synthesis Objective Question

Question

During the light reactions of photosynthesis, what two compounds temporarily store the chemical energy converted from light energy?
Options
A Glucose and Oxygen
B Carbon Dioxide and Water
C Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate (NADP.H)
Correct Answer
D Chlorophyll and Stroma
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 12 explains that during light reactions, 'Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is converted into chemical energy and temporarily stored in two compounds: Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and Nicotinamide Adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP.H)'.

Hint

These are the energy carriers produced during the initial stage of photosynthesis.
