Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, water is split (photolysis) to produce oxygen, and the energy captured from light is used to produce ATP and NADPH. Carbon dioxide fixation occurs during the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle), not during the light-dependent reactions.
