Ferredoxins are iron-sulfur proteins that mediate electron transfer in a range of metabolic reactions.
In Photosystem I, excited electrons are transferred to the electron carrier molecule ferredoxin. These electrons then reduce NADP+ to form NADPH, an energy-carrying molecule that is essential for the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis. This process occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, playing a crucial role in converting light energy into chemical energy.
The part of the photosynthetic cycle that involves an enzyme adding two electrons and one proton to a molecule of NADP is known as the Calvin cycle. Specifically, this process occurs during the reduction phase, where NADP+ is reduced to NADPH. This reaction is facilitated by the enzyme ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase (FNR), which plays a crucial role in transferring electrons from photosystem I to NADP+, ultimately contributing to the formation of glucose and other carbohydrates.
The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis involve an enzyme called ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase taking a molecule of NADP+ and adding two electrons to form NADPH. This process occurs in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast.
Functional role.
Its role is to energize the cell.It does that through respirastion
The components directly associated with Photosystem I are chlorophyll a, P700 reaction center, and ferredoxin.
It is placed as second photosystem in the light reactions of plants, algae and some bacteria. It is an integral membarne protein complex. It functioning the electron transfer from plastocyanin to ferredoxin. Like PSII, PSI also uses light energy to excite electrons.

These electrons then reduce NADP+ to form NADPH, an energy-carrying molecule that is essential for the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis. This process occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, playing a crucial role in converting light energy into chemical energy.
Electron carriers, such as NADP+ and ferredoxin, play a crucial role in photosynthesis by shuttling high-energy electrons during the light-dependent reactions. These carriers help to transfer electrons from water to generate ATP and NADPH, which are essential for the Calvin cycle to produce sugars. Overall, electron carriers facilitate the conversion of light energy into chemical energy that is used to drive the synthesis of organic molecules in plants.
NADP+ accepts and holds 2 high-energy electrons along with a hydrogen ion (H+).
Because the question does not ask photosynthesis, I answer in the meaning of general chemistry: Light just provides energy for a reaction; usually, photons (the light particles) make electrons of the matter to excitate, thus changing the reaction conditions. Otherwise, in photosynthesis, light-dependent reactions produce a proton (H+) gradient flow through thylakoid membrane, thus spinning the ATPase enzyme subunits, thus producing ATP. Besides this, ferredoxin and NADPH is produced. Ferredoxin is very important for certain specific enzymatic reactions and NADPH is the carrier of reduction force (it can give a hydrogen to a chemical/metabolite, for example to malonic acid)

The electrons that move between photosystems in photosynthesis are energized by sunlight and carried by electron carrier molecules such as plastocyanin and ferredoxin. These high-energy electrons are transferred through a series of redox reactions in the electron transport chain to generate ATP and NADPH for the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
