What is the role of the NADP reductase enzyme in the process of photosynthesis?
What is the role of the NADP reductase enzyme in the process of photosynthesis?
It synthesizes ATP
It carries out facilitated diffusion of protons across the membrane
It reduces NADP⁺ to NADPH⁺ H⁺
It activates ATP synthase enzyme
Solution
The NADP reductase enzyme is located on the stroma side of the membrane. Along with electrons that come from the acceptor of electrons of PS I, protons are necessary for the reduction of NADP⁺ to NADPH⁺ H⁺.
