Which of the following is not true of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis generate ATP and NADPH from the energy of photons, which is captured by chlorophyll molecules in the thylakoid membranes. The electrons that are released from chlorophyll are used to produce a proton gradient, which drives the synthesis of ATP through a chemiosmotic mechanism. NADPH is generated by the transfer of electrons from water to NADP+. Glucose is not generated in the light-dependent reactions, but rather in the subsequent light-independent reactions (also known as the Calvin cycle), which use ATP and NADPH to synthesize glucose from carbon dioxide.
