Which of the following are produced directly as a result of the movement of electrons through the photosynthetic electron transport chain?
A)oxygen and carbohydrates
B)carbohydrates and ATP
C)ATP and NADPH
D)water and carbohydrates

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The movement of electrons through the photosynthetic electron transport chain results in the production of ATP and NADPH. Oxygen is actually produced as a result of the splitting of water molecules during photosynthesis, and carbohydrates are produced through the process of CO2 fixation during the Calvin cycle, which is powered by the ATP and NADPH produced in the electron transport chain. Therefore, choices A and D are incorrect, and choice B only partially describes the products of the electron transport chain. Choice C is the best answer because it accurately reflects the immediate products of electron transport.
