NAD is an electron/H carrier in respiration and NADP is an electron/H carrier in photosynthesis.
it accepts a pair of high energy electrons
They're all electron carriers for the electron transport chain
NAD+ and NADP+ are the mian products
NADP if photosynthesis. NAD or FAD if cellular respiration.
A carrier molecule is a compound that can accept a pair of high energy electrons and transfer them to another molecule. The carrier molecule in photosynthesis is NADP or the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.
In Photosynthesis, in Non- Cyclic Photophosphorylation, NADP- is produced but is then reduced to NADPH2 which is a reduced coenzyme. The reactions to get from NADP- to NADPH2 are shown below:NADP- + H+ ---> NADPH (The H+ came from the hydrolysed water molecule from PSII)NADPH + e- ---> NADPH-NADPH- + H+ ---> NADPH2
NAD+ is the oxidized and NADH is the reduced form.
it serves as coenzyme for many enzymes in the form of NAD,NADP,NADPH..............
GOGAT may have not a same affinity for NADP and NAD. GOGAT depednance for NADP or NAD is related to the analysed tissu (bacteria, fungi, plant...) [floristqiue@yahoo.fr] GOGAT may have not a same affinity for NADP and NAD.
NAD+ and NADP+ are the mian products
NAD+, (or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)
NADP is part of the Light Independant reaction (Calvin Cycle) of photosynthesis. The NADP combines with a Hydrogen Ion to create NADPH.When the NADP is turned into NADPH it basically is just an energy carrier to turn CO2 into Carbon based sugar molecules.
A. both NAD plus and FAD
Nad, nadp, fad
to accept high energy electrons
NADP+ which then grabs a hyrdogen and becomes NADPH
Coenzyme, like NAD, NADP, CoA.
They both help to transfer or get rid of electrons produced during cellular metabolism.
no, NAD+/NADH and FAD/FADH2 and NADP+/NADPH are electron carriers, coenzyme A is not
