Expand NADP and also expand NADPH2
Answers
Answer:
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, abbreviated NADP+ or, in older notation, TPN (triphosphopyridine nucleotide), is a cofactor used in anabolic reactions, such as the Calvin cycle and lipid and nucleic acid syntheses, which require NADPH as a reducing agent. ... NADPH is the reduced form of NADP+.
In the light dependent phase of photosynthesis after the photolysis or breaking up of water by energy of four photons absorbed in the chlorophyll, the H+ ion and e-(electron) released together combine with NADP which is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, this compound is important as it stores hydrogen to form a reduced product called as NADPH+ (an unstable ion), NADPH+ temporarily stores hydrogen for the light independent phase(Calvin's cycle) during which it gives up an H+ ion and electron to reform Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate, the Hydrogen now combines in a complex enzymatic process with carbon dioxide to form glucose (C6H12O6). Excess Glucose now undergoes polymerization to form insoluble starch which is reconverted to soluble sucrose (C12H22O11) for transport through the phloem to the storage organs of the plant.
