In photosynthesis, the following processes are part of the light reaction
except
Answer Details
The correct option is "formation of glucose using energy from NADPH." In photosynthesis, the light reaction occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells and involves the absorption of light by chlorophyll, which excites electrons. These electrons are passed through a series of carriers, releasing energy that is used to produce ATP and NADPH. The splitting of water molecules provides electrons to replace those lost from chlorophyll, and this also produces oxygen gas. Glucose is formed during the dark reaction (also known as the Calvin cycle) which uses energy from ATP and NADPH produced in the light reaction.
