The principle products of photosynthesis?

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?

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

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...

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

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