NAD is an electron/H carrier in respiration and NADP is an electron/H carrier in photosynthesis.
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
The main product of fermentation is ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide. It is produced when sugars are converted into energy in the absence of oxygen by microorganisms like yeast.
NAD+ is a substrate in redox reactions because it serves as a coenzyme that accepts and donates electrons during cellular respiration to facilitate energy production.
Electrons are brought to the electron transport chain by high-energy electron carriers such as NADH and FADH2. These carriers donate electrons to the chain, which is then used to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
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.
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+, (or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)
They both are types of organic molecules and both accept molecules during redox reactions,(shorthand for reduction-oxidation reaction).A redox reaction describes all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation number changed.
A. both NAD plus and FAD
to accept high energy electrons
NAD and NADP are coenzymes that play essential roles in cellular metabolism. While NAD primarily functions in catabolic reactions releasing energy, NADP participates in anabolic reactions synthesizing molecules. The presence of both allows cells to efficiently regulate metabolic pathways, balancing energy production and consumption.
