NADP is an important molecule used in cellular respiration (or making energy). When a cell breaks down glucose it converts 2 NADP molecules into 2 NADPH molecules, basically a NADP molecule with an extra hydrogen attached. That hydrogen bond has energy, that when broken releases energy to do other things. Further down the chain of the Krebs Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain, NADPH's convert ADP (adenosine di-phosphate) into ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate), the main energy molecule in bacteria, animal, and plant cells.
Its acts as long term energy storage
NADP+ accepts and holds 2 high-energy electrons along with a hydrogen ion (H+).
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.
In the chloroplasts, a photon of light may be used to disassociate a water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen. Light energy also changes NADP to NADPH in the chlorophyll-catalyzed production of carbohydrates.

The nucleotide Adenosine tri-phosphate, primarily. Also involved are FAD-H and NADP-H.
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.
NADPH is more unstable and will release energy to become NADP+ because there is a high amount of negative charge concentrated in this small molecule, thus it will reduce or donate electrons spontaneously or just lose the electrons to fuel an enzymatic reaction.
