Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which molecule acts as the primary electron carrier in the light reactions?
Correct Answer: NADP+
  • Step 1: Understand that light reactions are part of photosynthesis, where light energy is converted into chemical energy.
  • Step 2: Identify that during these reactions, electrons are transferred through a series of proteins and molecules.
  • Step 3: Recognize that NADP+ is a molecule involved in this process.
  • Step 4: Learn that NADP+ accepts electrons during the light reactions.
  • Step 5: Realize that when NADP+ accepts electrons, it becomes NADPH, which carries the electrons for use in the next stage of photosynthesis.
