Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What role does NADPH play in photosynthesis?
Correct Answer: NADPH ka role carbon fixation mein hai.
  • Step 1: Understand that photosynthesis is the process plants use to convert sunlight into energy.
  • Step 2: Learn that there are two main stages in photosynthesis: the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.
  • Step 3: Know that during the light-dependent reactions, sunlight is captured and used to create energy-rich molecules, including NADPH.
  • Step 4: Recognize that NADPH is a molecule that carries electrons and energy.
  • Step 5: Understand that in the Calvin cycle, which is the second stage of photosynthesis, plants need energy to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
  • Step 6: Realize that NADPH provides the necessary electrons (reducing power) to help in this conversion process, known as carbon fixation.
  • Step 7: Conclude that without NADPH, the Calvin cycle would not be able to produce glucose efficiently.
