The 'Figure Walkthrough' caption on the page describes a key process in photosynthesis. What are the primary energy-carrying molecules generated by linear electron flow during the light reactions, as stated in this caption?

  • A: Oxygen and glucose
  • B: ATP and NADPH
  • C: Carbon dioxide and water
  • D: Proteins and lipids
  • E: Heat and light

Explanation

The 'Figure Walkthrough' caption explicitly states: 'How linear electron flow during the light reactions generates ATP and NADPH.' These are the two primary energy-carrying molecules produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
