An easily understood explanation is:
NADPH carries high-energy electrons that were produced by light absorption in chlorophyll to chemical reactions elsewhere in the cell.
NADPH is a chemical compound which gives hydrogen atom for the formation of the carbohydrate in the dark reactions of the photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is completed in two steps:
Light reactions
dark reactions
Another explanation: NADPH provides a source of hydrogen for reduction reactions in photosynthesis.
In the light independent reactions carbon dioxide is converted into carbohydrate:
CO2 --------> CH2O
NADPH provides the hydrogen needed for this reaction.
NADPH is reduced NADP (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) and is used as a reducing agent. NADPH oxidises to form NADP. In plants, NADP is reduced in the last step of the electron chain of the light reactions of photosynthesis. The NADPH produced is then used as a reducing agent in the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis. NADPH is used in catabolic processes.
The connecting link between the hexose monophosphate shunt (pentose phosphate pathway) and lipid synthesis is the generation of NADPH. NADPH produced during the pentose phosphate pathway is utilized as a reducing equivalent in the fatty acid synthesis pathway. This NADPH provides the necessary reducing power for the synthesis of fatty acids from acetyl-CoA.
NADP converts into NADPH through a process called reduction, where it gains electrons and a hydrogen ion to become NADPH. This conversion is essential for carrying out various cellular processes, such as photosynthesis.
No, NADPH is not utilized in the conversion of NADP from anabolic to catabolic processes.
Photosynthesis generates ATP during the light-dependent reactions (photophosphorylation) and NADPH during the light-dependent reactions (photolysis of water and reduction of NADP+ to NADPH).
the cells
it serves as coenzyme for many enzymes in the form of NAD,NADP,NADPH..............
There is no NADPH+. However, there is NADPH, which is a product of non-cyclic electron flow in the light reactions of photosynthesis. NADP+ and two protons are transformed to NADPH and one proton via NADP+ reductase as the last step in photosystem II.
The molecule NADPH is only found in plants.
The light reactions produce ATP and NADPH which they share with the Calvin cycle. The role of the nadph is producing energy.

It is about making NADPh. making NADPH by NADP.
It is about making NADPh. making NADPH by NADP.
The energy-carrying end products of the light harvesting reactions are ATP and NADPH. These molecules serve as the main sources of chemical energy for the subsequent dark reactions of photosynthesis.
The mitochondria in the cell yields NADPH as well as ATP. NADPH is used to turn carbon dioxide into glucose.
