Answer:

NADPH

Step-by-step explanation:

The formation of NADPH takes place in the following steps:

1. Electrons are transferred to the protein, ferrodoxin by the help of photosystem I in the presence of light.

2. The electrons are shuttled by photosystem II to replace the electrons thus lost by photosystem I.

3. The electrons by ferredoxin are transferred to NADP+.

4. NADP+ thus gets reduced and forms NADPH.
