Which substances are produced as outputs of oxygenic photosynthesis in plants?
A
Glucose and carbon dioxide
B
Glucose and oxygen
C
ATP and NADPH (as final products released from the chloroplast)
D
Carbon dioxide and water
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the overall equation for oxygenic photosynthesis, which occurs in plants and involves converting light energy into chemical energy.
Write the general photosynthesis equation: \$6\,CO_2 + 6\,H_2O + light \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6\,O_2$.
Identify the reactants (inputs) as carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)), water (\(H_2O\)), and light energy, and the products (outputs) as glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) and oxygen (\(O_2\)).
Understand that ATP and NADPH are produced during the light-dependent reactions but are used internally in the chloroplast for the Calvin cycle, so they are not final products released from the plant.
Conclude that the substances produced as outputs of oxygenic photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.
