Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which electron carrier is used in photosynthesis?
A
NADH / NAD+
B
ATP / ADP
C
DLT + CSR 4EVR
D
You know, that one.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) plus hydrogen (H) is referred to as NADH. This substance is present in the body naturally and participates in the synthesis of energy. NADH is not a by-product of photosynthesis’ light reaction. NAD+ performs the function of an electron carrier.

Detailed explanation-2: -NADH is the reduced form of the electron carrier, and NADH is converted into NAD+. This half of the reaction results in the oxidation of the electron carrier.

Detailed explanation-3: -Electron carriers such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) are used in energy capturing processes such as photosynthesis and respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -The light-dependent reactions use light energy to make two molecules needed for the next stage of photosynthesis: the energy storage molecule ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH.

Detailed explanation-5: -NADH and FADH2 carry high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain in cellular respiration. NADPH carries high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain in photosynthesis.
