Final Electron Acceptor

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) or other name is triphosphopyridine nucleotide (TPN) is the final electron acceptor for electrons from photosystem. It is a cofactor which is used in anabolic reactions like synthesis of lipid and nucleic acids like DNA and RNA which needs NADPH as a reducing agent. NADPH is the reduced form of NADP+.

The last electron acceptor is the NADP. In oxygenic photosynthesis, the main electron giver would be water, making oxygen as a waste item. In anoxygenic photosynthesis different electron givers are utilized. Cytochrome b6f and ATP synthase cooperate to make ATP.
