Nadp+
NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is the molecule that acts as a carrier for high-energy electrons during photosynthesis. It is produced during the light reactions of photosynthesis and carries the electrons to the Calvin cycle to help in the synthesis of sugars.

NADPH
The molecule you are referring to is NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). It acts as a coenzyme electron carrier in the Krebs cycle by accepting and donating electrons during the oxidation-reduction reactions that occur in the cycle.

An electron carrier acts as an energy-storage molecule when it is in a reduced state by gaining electrons and storing energy in chemical bonds. Examples of electron carriers involved in energy storage include NADH and FADH2, which are critical molecules in cellular respiration for ATP production.
Ribulose is composed of a five-carbon sugar molecule. It is a key component of the Calvin cycle, where it acts as a substrate for the enzyme RuBisCO in the process of carbon fixation during photosynthesis.
Yes, ADP is not a coenzyme, but rather a nucleotide involved in cellular energy transfer as part of the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecule. ADP is converted to ATP during cellular respiration, where it acts as an energy carrier in metabolic processes within cells.
