Question

The full expansion of NADP is

• A. Nicotinamide adenine diphosphate
• B. Nicotinamide adenosine diphosphate
• C. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate
• D. Nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide phosphate

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate is a cofactor used in anabolic reactions, such as lipid and nucleic acid synthesis, which require NADPH as a reducing agent. It is mainly produced in the light reaction of the photosynthesis. NADPH is the reduced form of NADP${}^{+}$.

So, the correct answer is option C.
