B) NADPH.
C) PEP.
D) both ATP and NADPH.
E) ATP, NADPH, and PEP.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the light dependent portion of photosynthesis, the energy found in photons is used to make ATP and NADPH. Therefore, the best choice is D, which states that both ATP and NADPH are produced. Option E includes PEP, which is not directly involved in the light dependent reaction but is instead a component of the Calvin cycle (light independent portion of photosynthesis).
