The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Light Reactions**: - Light reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. - They require light energy to initiate the process. 2. **Photolysis of Water**: - During light reactions, water (H2O) is split into oxygen (O2), protons (H+), and electrons (e-). This process is known as photolysis. - The equation for photolysis can be summarized as: \[ 2H_2O \rightarrow 4H^+ + 4e^- + O_2 \] 3. **Formation of ATP and NADPH**: - The absorbed light energy is used to drive electrons through a series of proteins (electron transport chain) which helps in creating a proton gradient. - This proton gradient is utilized by ATP synthase to convert ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi) into ATP. - Additionally, the electrons reduce NADP+ to form NADPH. 4. **Products of Light Reactions**: - The main products of the light reactions are: - ATP (adenosine triphosphate) - NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) - Oxygen (O2) is released as a byproduct. 5. **Identifying the Correct Option**: - From the options provided, the correct answer is: - **ATP, hydrogen (as protons), and oxygen**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **ATP, hydrogen (as protons), and oxygen**. ---
