Photosynthesis Problem Set 1

Problem 8: Equation for light reaction

Which of the following is the equation for the light reaction of photosynthesis?
A 2 H2O + 2 NADP+ + nADP + nPi + hv → O2 + 2 NADPH + 2 H+ + nATP
B H2O +CO2 + hv → C(H2O) + O2
C 2 H2O + 2 NADP+ + nATP + hv → O2 + 2 NADPH + 2 H+ + nADP + nPi
D O2 + 2 NADP+ + nATP + hv → 2 H2O + 2 NADPH + 2 H+ + nADP + nPi
E 2 H2O + 2 NADPH + nADP + nPi + hv → O2 + 2 NADP++ 2 H+ + nATP
