What are the Products of Linear Photophosphorylation

Question

What are the products of linear photophosphorylation?
A) heat and fluorescence
B) ATP and P700
C) ATP and NADPH
D) ADP and NADP
E) P700 and P680

Accepted Answer

The products of linear photophosphorylation are ATP and NADPH. This is because during this process, light energy is used to excite electrons in photosystem II, which are then passed through an electron transport chain, generating a proton gradient that ultimately drives the synthesis of ATP via ATP synthase. This same process also generates NADPH, which is used along with ATP in the Calvin cycle to fuel the production of glucose.
