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.
In photosynthesis, carrier molecules like NADPH and ATP play crucial roles in transferring energy and electrons during the light-dependent reactions. NADPH carries energized electrons to fuel the Calvin cycle, while ATP provides energy for glucose synthesis. These molecules help convert light energy into chemical energy that plants use for growth and survival.
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)
NADP is part of the Light Independant reaction (Calvin Cycle) of photosynthesis. The NADP combines with a Hydrogen Ion to create NADPH.When the NADP is turned into NADPH it basically is just an energy carrier to turn CO2 into Carbon based sugar molecules.
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.
