A.B) To produce oxygen

B.D) To reduce the amount of light energy

C.A) To produce glucose

D.C) To produce ATP and NADPH

Explanation

Core Concept

The primary reason for the light-dependent reactions to occur in plants and other eukaryotic organisms is to produce ATP and NADPH. These energy-rich molecules are necessary for the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) to occur, which ultimately produce glucose from CO2.
