During the light independent reaction of photosynthesis, the two energy-carrying molecules that are products of the light dependent reaction are used to drive the reduction of carbon dioxide into glucose.

These two compounds are A)ADP and ATP 

B)ATP and NADPH  C)ATP and cytochrome  D) ATP synthase and hydrogen

Answer:

B: ATP and NADPH

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is a reaction that is made up of two parts

  • The light dependent part that takes place in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast during which energy from the sun is used to cleave water to release oxygen gas and an electron that is eventually utilized in the synthesis of ATP and NADPH.
  • The light independent reaction that takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast during which the ATP and NADPH synthesized in the light dependent reaction is used to fix
    CO_(2) into carbohydrate/glucose. This part is also often called the Calvin cycle.

Hence, the correct option is B.
