The product of the dark reaction is
Correct answer: C. G3P
- A. ATP
- B. NADPH
- C. G3P
- D. PEP
Explanation
The correct answer is glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P), which is the primary carbohydrate product of the Calvin cycle, also known as the dark reactions. During these reactions, ATP and NADPH generated in the light-dependent reactions are used to convert carbon dioxide into G3P, a three-carbon sugar. This process occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts. The other options, ATP and NADPH, are products of the light-dependent reactions, while PEP is not related to photosynthesis but rather to glycolysis.
