NADP+, ADP, and glucose
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).
NADPH
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
A name for NADP is nicotinaqmide adenine dinucleotide phosphate; NADPH is the reduced form of NADP.
To transform NADP into NADPH, the ingredients required are hydrogen ions (H), electrons, and an enzyme called NADP reductase.
No, NADPH is not utilized in the conversion of NADP from anabolic to catabolic processes.
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.
It is about making NADPh. making NADPH by NADP.

NADP converts into NADPH through a process called reduction, where it gains electrons and a hydrogen ion to become NADPH. This conversion is essential for carrying out various cellular processes, such as photosynthesis.
NADP and NADPH are both coenzymes involved in redox reactions in cellular metabolism. NADP primarily functions in anabolic reactions, such as biosynthesis, while NADPH is the reduced form of NADP and serves as a key electron carrier in these reactions. NADPH is essential for processes like fatty acid and nucleotide synthesis, while NADP is more involved in maintaining cellular redox balance.
NADP and 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.
NADP+, ADP, and glucose
NADP+ accepts and holds 2 high-energy electrons along with a hydrogen ion (H+).
