q2
this is one of the end products of
photosynthesis. what is it?
a. nadph
b. atp
c. chlorophyll
d. glucose

Explanation:

1. Recall the process of photosynthesis: The overall reaction of photosynthesis produces glucose (a sugar) and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water, using light energy.
2. Analyze the options:

• Option A (NADPH) and Option B (ATP) are energy carriers or intermediates in the light - dependent reactions of photosynthesis, not end - products in the same sense as glucose.
• Option C (Chlorophyll) is a pigment that absorbs light for photosynthesis, not a product of photosynthesis.
• Option D (Glucose) has a molecular structure (the given structure is a hexose, consistent with glucose's structure) and is one of the main end - products of photosynthesis (the Calvin cycle produces glucose).

Answer:

D. Glucose
