NADP is converted into NADPH₂ in:
Correct answer: B. Non-cyclic photophosphorylation
- A. Dark reaction
- B. Non-cyclic photophosphorylation
- C. Photorespiration
- D. Cyclic photophosphorylation
Explanation
NADP is converted into NADPH₂ during non-cyclic photophosphorylation, which occurs in the light reactions of photosynthesis. In this process, electrons from water are excited by light, passed through photosystems II and I, and finally transferred to NADP⁺, forming NADPH₂. Other processes like cyclic photophosphorylation, dark reactions, and photorespiration do not produce NADPH₂.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
