What is the purpose of ATP and NADPH in the biosynthetic phase of photosynthesis?
What is the purpose of ATP and NADPH in the biosynthetic phase of photosynthesis?
To synthesize food, more accurately, sugars
To produce O₂
To activate the Calvin cycle
To produce CO₂
Solution
The biosynthetic phase of photosynthesis depends on the products of the light reaction, i.e., ATP and NADPH, besides CO₂ and H₂O, to drive the processes leading to the synthesis of food, more accurately, sugars.
