The role of NADP is to carry the hydrogen atom from the light dependent stage, which comes from the water molecule ( water molecule splits to form H+ , 2electrons & oxygen, which is a waste gas). NADP carries this hydrogen atom n gets reduced.

∙ 15y agoADP's role is to provide a source for making ATP.
ADP, together with free phosphate, can form ATP, which is the molecule that the cell uses as its immediate source of energy for most processes. However, putting that free phosphate onto ADP requires the supply of a significant packet of energy.
In photosynthesis this energy comes ultimately from light. Chlorophyll traps some of this light energy as chemical energy, which is passed along a series of compounds to an enzyme called ATP synthase, which uses the energy to catalyze the conversion of ADP and phosphate into ATP.

What is the coenzyme in the of photosynthesis?
NADP
What is the ultimate electron acceptor in photosynthesis?
nadp+
Reduction of NADP occurs during?
NADP+ is reduced in many different places. In animals cells, for example, during the breakdown of one glucose molecule two are reduced during glycolysis, two are reduced during the oxidation of pyruvate, and 6 are created during the Krebs cycle.
Photosynthesis carrier molecules?
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.
What do the NADP molecules do during photosynthesis?
Hand electrons to the next carrier in the chain
What is the coenzyme in the of photosynthesis?
NADP
Do NADP plus store electrons for photosynthesis?
no
What is the ultimate electron acceptor in photosynthesis?
nadp+
How would photosynthesis be affected if there were a shortage of NADP in the cells of plant?
If there was a shortage of NADP plus, the cells in the plant would not be able to run through the photosynthesis cycle.
What is the function of DPIP in this experiment?
Is this an AP lab?The DPIP replaces NADP+.In photosynthesis, NADP is reduced to NADPH, but NADP is colorless.DPIP replaces the NADP. When DPIP is reduced, it changes from blue to clear. DPIP is used to show photosynthesis taking place.
Which molecule acts as a carrier during photosynthesis?
Nadp+
Which metal ion is responsible for electron transportation in photosynthesis?
NADP+ which then grabs a hyrdogen and becomes NADPH
What are two carrier molecules involvede with photosynthesis?
NADP and NADPH
What is the product of light independent reactions in photosynthesis?
Glucose, NADP and ADP
What is the product of the light independent reaction of photosynthesis?
Glucose, NADP and ADP
