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.

What is the connecting link between hexose monophosphate shunt and lipid synthesis?
NADPH
What goes into the Calvin cycle ( photosynthesis)?
There are two products. Those are NADPH and ATP.
What does nadph carry?
they carry high energy electrons.
What is the source of energy for converting PGA into PGAl?
ATP and NADPH YM.
What is a product of the light reactions of photosynthesis that are utilized in the Calvin cycle?
ATP and NADPH are the products utilized in the Calvin Cycle.
What function of the cell creates NADPH?
the cells
What is the function of NADPH plus?
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.
What is the main function of the vitamin or mineral to you in niacin?
it serves as coenzyme for many enzymes in the form of NAD,NADP,NADPH..............
What are the energy carrying end products of the light harvesting reactions?
NADPH and ATP
What is the connecting link between hexose monophosphate shunt and lipid synthesis?
NADPH
What goes into the Calvin cycle ( photosynthesis)?
There are two products. Those are NADPH and ATP.
Where do the NADPH found?
The molecule NADPH is only found in plants.
What is the role of NADPH in photosynthesis?
The light reactions produce ATP and NADPH which they share with the Calvin cycle. The role of the nadph is producing energy.
Noncyclic electron flow results in the generation of what?
It ends up in the chlorophyll. Also, the electron flow produces ATP and NADPH.
What molecule is produced when two electrons and one proton are added to NA PD?
NADPH
What is meant of oxidation reduction in photosynthesis?
It is about making NADPh. making NADPH by NADP.
What is meant of oxidation-reduction in photosynthesis?
It is about making NADPh. making NADPH by NADP.
