Definition of NADPH :
The reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate that serves as an electron carrier.

NADPH
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (reduced)
NARES ...

NADPH oxidase (in both type of phagocytes)
myeloperoxidase (in neutrophils only)
ROS Activity
Strong oxidants like the various ROS can damage other molecules and the cell structures of which they are a part.

NADPH is the reduced form of NADP+, and NADP+ is the oxidized form of NADPH.
[edit] In plants ...

NADPH is the source of electrons for glucose biosynthesis.
C.
ATP is the energy source for glucose biosynthesis.

The NADPH is the main reducing agent in cells, providing a source of energetic electrons to other reactions. This leaves chlorophyll with a deficit of electrons, which must be obtained from some other reducing agent.

NADP+ + 2H ® NADPH + H+
NADP+ is similar to NAD+ in that it can carry two electrons. One of the electrons is contained within a hydrogen atom, the other is removed from a hydrogen atom and the remaining proton is released..

NADP+ and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) The electron donor for reductive biosynthesis; differs from NAD+ and NADH in that a phosphate is attached to the adenine ribose at position 3.

The role of NADPH in oxygen-producing photosynthesis is to ____. a) supply hydrogen to the carbohydrate; b) supply carbon to the carbohydrate; c) supply energy that can be used to form a carbohydrate; d) transfer oxygens from the third ...

The light dependent reaction takes place in the chloroplast and is important to produce ATP and NADPH + H+.

The energy of the sun is captured by pigments found in photosynthetic organisms and the energy is captured in such a way as to produce ATP and reducing power in the form of electrons which are carried by the coenzyme, NADPH (formed from the vitamin ...

dark reaction - in photosynthesis, the ATP and NADPH are used to drive a series of Acarbon-fixation@ reactions in which CO2 from the air is used to form sugar molecules.

The carbon-fixing reactions of the second stage of photosynthesis; energy stored in ATP and NADPH by the light-dependent reactions is used to reduce carbon from carbon dioxide to simple sugars; light is not required for these reactions.

transport 1) A series of coupled oxidation/reduction reactions where electrons are passed like hot potatoes from one membrane-bound protein/enzyme to another before being finally attached to a terminal electron acceptor (usually oxygen or NADPH).

light reaction that part of the photosynthetic process that, in the presence of light, captures energy to form ATP and NADPH2 to be used to synthesize complex organic molecules in the dark reaction
lignification Impregnated with lignin.
