In oxygenic photosynthesis, what are the primary products plants produce from carbon dioxide and water using light energy?
A
Lactic acid and ethanol
B
Carbon dioxide and water
C
ATP and NADPH as the final exported products
D
Glucose (sugars) and oxygen
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that oxygenic photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, using carbon dioxide (CO\_2) and water (H\_2O) as raw materials.
Recall the general photosynthesis equation: \$6CO\_2 + 6H\_2O + light \ energy \rightarrow C\_6H\_{12}O\_6 + 6O\_2$, where glucose (C\_6H\_{12}O\_6) and oxygen (O\_2) are produced.
Recognize that ATP and NADPH are intermediate energy carriers produced during the light-dependent reactions, but they are not the final exported products of photosynthesis.
Note that lactic acid and ethanol are products of anaerobic respiration or fermentation, not photosynthesis.
Conclude that the primary products plants produce from carbon dioxide and water using light energy in oxygenic photosynthesis are glucose (sugars) and oxygen.
