Question

Explain how photosynthesis would be affected if there were a shortage of NADP+ in the cells of plants

Answer 1

Photosynthesis would stop

NADP+ is important in photosynthesis because they are significant in both light and dark phases of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

IN the light stage, NADP+ is the ultimate electron acceptor as high energy electrons are passed down a protein chain, from the reactive center of photosystems, as their energy is harnessed to create a proton motive force across the lamellae membrane. NADP+ is ultimately reduced to NADPH. Without NADP+, the electron transport chain would cease.

NADPH, on the other hand, is used to reduce carbon dioxide to glucose in the Calvin cycle. NADPH is oxidized to NADP+ which is recycled back to the light stage of photosynthesis.
