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.
NAD+, (or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)
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.
Inside the cell, NAD is mostly oxidized. The ready availability of the NAD+ will help to speed up the oxidative reactions in the TCA and glycolysis. In contrast, NADP is mainly found in the reduced state. The high level of NADPH will promote reductive reactions in biosynthesis. (http://watcut.uwaterloo.ca/webnotes/Metabolism/page-8.2.html) NAD+ is reduced to NADH in respiration, and NADPH is produced from NADP+ in the light stage of photosynthesis and is not involved in respiration. Remember P (NADP+ and Photosynthesis).
Is this an AP lab?The DPIP replaces NADP+.In photosynthesis, NADP is reduced to NADPH, but NADP is colorless.DPIP replaces the NADP. When DPIP is reduced, it changes from blue to clear. DPIP is used to show photosynthesis taking place.
Build sugar
Both NAD+ and NADP+ are coenzymes involved in redox reactions in cells. They both act as electron carriers, accepting and donating electrons during metabolic processes. NAD+ is primarily involved in catabolic reactions, while NADP+ is involved in anabolic reactions.
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.

like NADP+ in photosynythesis, each NAD+ accepts a pair of high-energy electrons. This molecule, known as NADH, holds the electrons until they can be transferred to other molecules. By doing this, NAD+ helps to pass energy from glucose to other pathways in the cell.
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
