Brainster · Answer

If this helps, my GUESS is that it's B.), The production of ATP. But that's just my guess.

Astro · Answer

Could you explain why you think it could be B?

Brainster · Answer

All I know is that photosynthesis is dependent on light, and photosynthesis also results in the production of ATP.

Brainster · Answer

Oh, and photosynthesis also releases oxygen!

Brainster · Answer

Okay I'm pretty certain its B now

Brainster · Answer

Thank you

Astro · Answer

I love the explanation you gave, just one thing! What about the hydrogen ions?

Brainster · Answer

Tbh idk

Astro · Answer

Okay let's narrow this down. Do you think we can eliminate any of the answer choices?

Brainster · Answer

Well, answer choice C doesn't really make any sense.

Astro · Answer

Do you know what the splitting of water is?

Brainster · Answer

Nope

Brainster · Answer

But it does not sound like a light-dependent reaction

Astro · Answer

The best explanation I can give of this is this makes oxygen and hydrogen ions, this is because light dependent reactions convert the solar/Sun energy into chemical carries like it says in A "NADPH" this is then used in a cycle called the "Calvin" cycle. Below is a article on the Calvin cycle if you are confused about that. https://www.nationalgeographic.org/media/calvincycle/

Astro · Answer

Don't know if that helps I think @vocaloid can explain it better?

Brainster · Answer

I think that is very helpful

Brainster · Answer

So basically the splitting of water means that the water is split into oxygen and hydrogen ions.

Brainster · Answer

Makes sense

Brainster · Answer

I think I'm going to go with b, thank you for your help!

Astro · Answer

Wait, I don't think B is correct. The production of ATP should actually be eliminated because it has nothing to do with hydrogen ions if i'm correct.

Brainster · Answer

Oh.

Brainster · Answer

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Brainster · Answer

Well then it was to be C, the splitting of water

Astro · Answer

Awesome! You do understand why that makes sense right? Not just saying that because I explained it?

Brainster · Answer

Yes now I understand it

Brainster · Answer

Makes a lot more sense now

Astro · Answer

That's perfect!

Astro · Answer

I hope you enjoy the rest of your night!!

Brainster · Answer

Astro · Answer
