Question

The source of hydrogen for carbon assimilation is derived from

• A. FADH${}_2$
• B. Chlorophyll
• C. RuBP
• D. NADPH

Answer 1

The correct option is D NADPH

Carbon assimilation is also known as carbon fixation. Photosynthesis is an example of carbon assimilation. In this process, inorganic carbon is converted into an organic one. The light reaction of photosynthesis provided 9 molecules of ATP and 6 molecules of NADPH for the process of carbon assimilation.

So, option D " NADPH" is the correct answer.
