What does NADP⁺ become after it picks up 2 high-energy electrons and 1 hydrogen ion?
A) Glucose
B) Water
C) NADPH
D) Oxygen
Answer:
C) NADPH:
Sunlight gives energy to electrons in the plant.
NADP⁺ picks up the high-energy electrons and a hydrogen ion to become NADPH.
NADPH carries the energy to help the plant make sugar from carbon dioxide and water.
This green pigment absorbs sunlight and starts the process of photosynthesis.
Answer: chlorophyll
