Q1:

NADP+ is reduced to NADPH during

A light dependent reactions

B photorespiration

C calvin cylcle

D none of these

ANS:A - light dependent reactions

During light phase the green pigment traps the radiant energy from the sun, which is converted into chemical energy, and ATP and NADPH are produced during this process. These two molecules are the carriers. ATP energy carrier for the cell activities, and NADPH its a carrier for electrons.
