Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Does NADPH have energy?
A
yes
B
no
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -ATP and NADPH are energy storage and electron carrier/donor molecule. Both ATP and NADPH are used in the next stage of photosynthesis. The chlorophyll molecule regains the lost electron from a water molecule through a process called photolysis, which releases dioxygen (O2) molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -NADPH and ATP molecules now store the energy from excited electrons – energy which was originally sunlight – in chemical bonds. Thus chloroplasts, with their orderly arrangement of pigments, enzymes, and electron transport chains, transform light energy into chemical energy.
