Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When light is absorbed by a plant, it initiates the process of photosynthesis. The first compound formed during photosynthesis is ATP, which is produced during the light-dependent reactions. This is followed by the production of NADPH and oxygen, which are also produced during the light-dependent reactions. Glucose and other sugars are produced during the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle), which takes place after the light-dependent reactions. RuBisCO and PEP are both enzymes involved in the Calvin cycle and are not the first compound formed after light absorption.
