Activated charcoal adsorbs many noxious substances—medical drugs, phytotoxins and poisonous chemicals—onto its surface, preventing their absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.

<h3>What is activated charcoal ?</h3>

Activated carbon, sometimes known as activated charcoal, is a type of carbon that is frequently used for a variety of purposes, including the filtration of impurities from water and air. It is treated to have tiny, low-volume holes, which expand the surface area open to chemical reactions or adsorption.

  • For some poisonings, activated charcoal is utilised as an emergency therapy. It aids in preventing the body from absorbing the toxin from the stomach. To treat severe poisoning, activated charcoal may occasionally be given in multiple doses.

What two things are added to nadp+ to convert it into nadph?
Masteriza [31]

<span>It requires one electron (e-) and one hydrogen ion (H+) to convert NADP+ into NADPH.
</span>


<span />

<span>This is the reaction of NADP+ reduction (NADPH is the reduced form of NADP which is the oxidized form).</span><span>  NADPH is a reducing agent, which means it reduces and gains electrons.</span>

<span>NADPH plays an important role in anabolic reactions (metabolic reactions that build up complex molecules from simpler ones), that require energy. For example, the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol require presence of NADPH. NADPH is crucial in carbohydrate synthesis occurring in plants where is produced from NAPD+ molecule during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. NADPH in other living organisms that are not photosynthetic, is a product of pentose phosphate pathway, which is mainly an anabolic pathway.</span>
