Question

Which of the following molecules is the primary product of photosystem I?a) Carbon dioxideb) Oxygenc) NADPHd) ATP

Answer 1

The primary product of the photosystem I is NADPH.

Explanation:

NADPH is the acronym of Nicotinamide adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate. This NADPH plays a vital role in many chemical reactions that take place during photosynthesis process. NADPH is released as a product in Photosystem I.

In the photosystem I process, the molecule present will absorb sunlight energy and transfers it to electrons to produce NADPH. This NADPH molecule is used as fuel for the chemical process that occurs during the 2nd stage of the photosynthesis process. Its molecular formula is
`C_(12) H_(30) N_(7) O_(17) P_(13)`. It acts as a fundamental metabolite.
