What is the purpose of the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions of photosynthesis?

ATP isn't created during the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis merely creates glucose, which is afterwards consumed to create the ATP. This ATP, however, serves the purpose all ATP does in the body: energy that the cell can use.

ATP and what other molecule are produced in produced in the second stage of photosynthesis?
ATP and NADPH are produced during photosystems I and II of the light phase of photosynthesis.
What are the reactants of dark reactions of photosynthesis?
Carbon, ATP and NADPH
Function of NADPH?
An easily understood explanation is: NADPH carries high-energy electrons that were produced by light absorption in chlorophyll to chemical reactions elsewhere in the cell. NADPH is a chemical compound which gives hydrogen atom for the formation of the carbohydrate in the dark reactions of the photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is completed in two steps: Light reactions dark reactions Another explanation: NADPH provides a source of hydrogen for reduction reactions in photosynthesis. In the light independent reactions carbon dioxide is converted into carbohydrate: CO2 --------> CH2O NADPH provides the hydrogen needed for this reaction.
What are the dark reactions?
It is photosynthesis where light is not needed. It is a nickname for the Calvin-Benson cycle which is the second main step of photosynthesis. It utilizes the ATP and NADPH produced from the light-reactions as well as carbon dioxide from the air in order to produce glucose.
Photosynthesis generates ATP and NADPH during what stages?
light reactions
What is produced during the light dependent reactions and used the light independent reactions of photosynthesis?
ATP and NADPH
What is produced during the lights dependent reactions and used during the light independent reactions of photosynthesis?
ATP and NADPH
What is produced during the light dependent reactions of used during the light independent reactions of photosynthesis?
ATP and NADPH
Which high-energy molecule and electron carrier are produced by the light reaction of photosynthesis?
NADPH and ATP are produced by the light reactions. The ATP is a high energy molecule produced by photophosphorylation while the NADPH is produced at the end of the electron transport chain.
What molecules produced during the light reaction of photosynthesis are needed to carry out dark reactions?
ATP and NADPH
What is produced during the light dependent reactions and used during the light independent of photosynthesis?
ATP and NADPH
What the functions of NADPH?

Is not produced in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis A. NADPH B. sugars C. ATP D. oxygen?
hydrogen ions
What are the energy sources for the calvin cycle?
The Calvin cycle is powered by ATP and NADPH. During photosynthesis there are light reactions and this is when ATP and NADPH are manufactured.
What are products of the light reactions of photosynthesis?
ATP and NADPH
ATP and what other molecule are produced in produced in the second stage of photosynthesis?
ATP and NADPH are produced during photosystems I and II of the light phase of photosynthesis.
What is produced in light- dependent reactions?
In light dependent reactions ATP and NADPH are produced
