Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
NADPH is formed when the electron acceptor NADP+ combines with ____
A
H+ and excited electrons
B
Excited electrons and ATP
C
Hydrogen ions and glucose
D
Excited electrons and proteins
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As the electron from the electron transport chain arrives at photosystem I, it is re-energized with another photon captured by chlorophyll. The energy from this electron drives the formation of NADPH from NADP+ and a hydrogen ion (H+).

Detailed explanation-2: -The reduced state of NADP is NADPH. Energy from sunlight is used to extract electrons from water once a photon strikes the photosystem II (PSII) reaction center. The electrons move to photosystem I (PSI), which converts NADP+ to NADPH, via the chloroplast electron transport chain.

Detailed explanation-3: -At the end of a short second electron transport chain, NADP+ molecules in the stroma pick up the high-energy electrons and H+ ions at the outer surface of the thylakoid membrane to become NADPH. As electrons are passed through the electron transport chain, they lose energy. 1.

Detailed explanation-4: -NADP+ is a coenzyme that functions as a universal electron carrier, accepting electrons and hydrogen atoms to form NADPH, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. NADP+ is created in anabolic reactions, or reaction that build large molecules from small molecules.

Detailed explanation-5: -photosynthesis, light reaction Light energy is harvested and used to power the transfer of electrons among a series of electron donors and acceptors. The final electron acceptor is NADP+, which is reduced to NADPH.
