Question

Which of the following statements about the NADPH/NADP cycle is true?ооооNADP becomes NADPH in the Calvin Cycle.The light-independent reactions reduces NADP to NADPH:The Calvin Cycle uses NADPH to form glucose from carbon dioxide.NADPH becomes NADP in the light-dependent reactions.

Answer 1

The carriers that move energy from the light-dependent reactions to the Calvin cycle reactions can be thought of as “full” because they bring energy. The lower energy form, NADP+, picks up a high-energy electron and a proton and is converted to NADPH. When NADPH gives up its electron, it is converted back to NADP+.

Answer: NADP becomes NADPH in the Calvin Cycle.
