The electrons from Fd to NADP are transferred by which enzyme?
Correct answer: B. NADP reductase
- A. NADP Oxidase
- B. NADP reductase
- C. ATP synthase
- D. Both A and B
Explanation
The transfer of electrons from ferredoxin (Fd) to NADP+ during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis is facilitated by the enzyme ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase (FNR). This enzyme plays a key role in the conversion of NADP+ to NADPH, which is an important molecule for the synthesis of sugars during the photosynthetic process. The transfer of electrons from ferredoxin to NADP+ is part of the final steps in the electron transport chain of the thylakoid membrane.
