Answer:

1) NADP is the reducing agent produced by the light reactions of photosynthesis and is consumed in the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis and used in many other anabolic reactions in both plants and animals.

3) Photosystems are the functional units for photosynthesis, defined by a particular pigment organization and association patterns, whose work is the absorption and transfer of light energy, which implies transfer of electrons. Physically, photosystems are found in the thylakoid membranes. There are two kinds of photosystems: photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem II

● PhotosystemSII acts first during the light transformation process in photosynthesis.

● Photosystem1 is an integral membrane protein complex that uses light energy to catalyze the transfer of electrons across the thylakoid membrane from

plastocyanin to ferredoxin. Ultimately, the electrons that are transferred by carrier NADPH.
