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

Linear photophosphorylation involves the conversion of light energy into the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH. Heat and fluorescence are not products of this process, and P700 and P680 are the names of the reaction center chlorophyll molecules in photosystem I and II, respectively, but they are not products of linear photophosphorylation. ATP and P700 are also not correct choices as P700 is a part of photosystem I and not involved in linear photophosphorylation. The correct products of this process are ATP and NADPH, making choice C the best answer. ADP and NADP are the reactants for linear photophosphorylation, not the products.
