Hydrogen donor during photosynthesis is
Hydrogen donor during photosynthesis is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D NADPH
- Calvin cycle is the set of chemical reactions that take place during the dark phase of photosynthesis.
- In the Calvin cycle, a five-carbon molecule called Ribulose-5-phosphate takes up one molecule of carbon dioxide and forms a six-carbon molecule (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate).
- The enzyme RuBisCO along with the energy of ATP and NADPH molecules breaks the six-carbon molecule into two equal parts. NADPH acts as a donor of electrons and hydrogen.
Thus the correct answer is option D.
