they carry high energy electrons.
ATP and NADPH molecules carry energy to the light-independent reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle. These molecules are produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, where sunlight is used to generate their energy-rich forms.
NADPH, NADH, and FADH2 are molecules that carry energy in the form of electrons during metabolic processes. They play crucial roles in processes like glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation to generate ATP, the energy currency of the cell. NADPH is particularly important for anabolic reactions like lipid and nucleic acid synthesis.
Yes, they carry energy between the light reactions and the Calvin cycle. ADP is phosphorylated into ATP at the ATP synthase while NADP is reduced by the electrons in the transport chain (it then becomes NADPH).
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.
ATP and NADPH
ATP and NADPH molecules carry energy to the light-independent reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle. These molecules are produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, where sunlight is used to generate their energy-rich forms.
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.
ATP is produced through the process of cellular respiration in the mitochondria of plant cells. NADPH is generated during the light reactions of photosynthesis in the chloroplasts. Both ATP and NADPH are used as energy sources for the Calvin cycle to run the biochemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
NADPH
The light reactions of photosynthesis produce energy-rich compounds like ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). These molecules carry and provide energy for the subsequent dark reactions of photosynthesis.
It is about making NADPh. making NADPH by NADP.

The carriers of energy formed during the light-dependent reaction are ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). These molecules carry the energy captured from sunlight and help fuel the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.
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.
