What is the function of NADPH and ATP?
|
|
They absorb light
|
|
|
They power the light-dependent reactions
|
|
|
They are light-reflecting pigments
|
|
|
They act as short-term energy storage
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Another short-term energy carrier important to photosynthesis, NADPH, holds chemical energy a bit longer but soon “spends” it to help to build sugar. Two of the most important energy-carrying molecules are glucose and adenosine triphosphate, commonly referred to as ATP.
Detailed explanation-2: -After the energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy and temporarily stored in ATP and NADPH molecules, the cell has the fuel needed to build carbohydrate molecules for long-term energy storage.
