Answer:

NADPH is an activated carrier molecule that is used primarily by plants (NOT TRUE)

Explanation:

NADPH is indeed an electron carrier molecule that participates in various metabolic (anabolic) reactions carried out by plants, but it also participates actively in metabolic (anabolic) reactions carried out in animal tissues, this means that it is used by the cells of the human body as well.

A very important metabolic process in which the NADPH is produced is during the glucose 6-phosphate oxidation into phosphate pentoses through the pentose phosphate pathway. In this process NADP+ is the main electron acceptor, so when it is reduced it produces NADPH. <u>This NADPH is very important for the synthesis of fatty acids, cholesterol and various steroid hormones.</u>

Alika [10]

Explanation:

Metals have various properties and are widely used in various application purposes. Metals have good conductivity and ductility property for which they are used in electrical wires like copper. They have good luster because of which they are used in mirrors.

Similarly, tungsten is used in the filament of the bulb because of the properties like electrical conductivity, ductility and high melting point. Thus the filament does not melt even if the heat production is high.
