Question

Choose the correct answer from the four options given below each statement:

NADP is expanded as:

• A. Nicotinamide, adenine dinucleotide phosphatase.
• B. Nicotinamide, adenine dinucleotide phosphate.
• C. Nicotinamide, adenine dinucleous phosphate.
• D. Nicotinamide, adenosine dinucleotide phosphate.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Nicotinamide, adenine dinucleotide phosphate.

NADP:

1. NADP is an important bio-molecule for photosynthesis.
2. It can be present in the cells as reduced (NADPH) or in oxidized (NADP⁺) forms.
3. During the light reaction of photosynthesis, NADP⁺ is reduced to form NADPH+H⁺.
4. During the dark reaction, NADPH again transforms into NADP.

The expanded form of NADP:

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate.
