Which of the following is formed at the end of the light-dependent reactions and provides energy for the light-independent reactions in photosynthesis?

ATP
Carbon dioxide
Glucose
Water

1 answer

The correct answer is ATP.

During the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, sunlight is used to produce ATP and NADPH, which provide the necessary energy and reducing power for the subsequent light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose.
