Answer:
a. ATP and NADPH
Explanation:
Light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis include splitting of water in the presence of sunlight and release of electrons. The electrons move from the reaction center of the PS-II via electron carriers to the PS-I. From the reaction center of PS-I, the electrons finally reach NADP reductase and reduce NADP into NADPH.
During this electron transfer via electron carriers, a proton concentration gradient is generated across the thylakoid membrane. The energy of this gradient is used to drive ATP synthesis. ATP and NADPH formed during the light-dependent phase of photosynthesis are then used during the reactions of the Calvin cycle.
Answer:
It enters the citric acid cycle and associates with a 4-carbon molecule, forming citric acid, and then through redox reactions regenerates the 4-carbon molecule.
Explanation:
Acetyl-CoA(2C) associates with oxalacetate(4C) to form citric acid(6C). Then through redox reactions, CO2 molecules result from decarboxylation (COOH becomes R-(R1)CH-R2). And through dehydrogenation H2 molecules are incorporated in NADH+ in FADH2, resulting in the 4-carbon molecule at the beginning (oxalacetate). That's why it's called a cycle(Kreb's cycle or citric acid cycle)
each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and hence differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties; in particular, a radioactive form of an element.
