The principle products of photosynthesis?

[Havoc]

Ok I'm aware that photosynthesis produces oxyen and glucose is produces in Kerb's cycle. But are NAPH and ATP also products of photosynthesis?

[mith]

umm krebs cycle breaks down glucose and yes the light reaction does produce atp and other high energy compounds.

[Havoc]

hmmm..... I thought the Kreb's cycle breaks down acetyl CoA into ATP? I made an error when said kerbs makes glucose. Thanks for the reply.

ehmm...im not sure, but I dont think the krebs cycle is about photosynthesis but about respiration...

[thank.darwin]

Cellular Respiration Steps - #1Glyclosis, #2 Prep-Stage, #3 Krebs, #4 Electron Transport

Photosynthesis Steps - #1 Light dependent, #2 Light independent; AKA : Calvin Cycle

Hope that clears things up

To answer your question; no... ATP is used to start the reaction and NADPH is used to transport Hydrogen to the Calvin Cycle… they are not products.

I don't think so. ATP is used to start Calvin cycle, and NADPH is the product of photosynthesis, it is made when NADP+ meet H+ in the aTPsynthase.

NADPH is not a product: it simply carries the energiezed electron- the are used in the Calvin cycle to form glucose

Thank-you ... that's what I had tried to say

[MrMistery]

If NADP+ was a truck, than NADPH is the truck filled with whatever it carries

[thank.darwin]

Right... The Hydrogen is the cargo in the truck
