Question

Medals!
I asked this earlier:
What molecules get recycle to be used again during the process of photosynthesis?

And someone gave me this answer:
ADP/ATP and NADP+/NADPH because they stay in the system.
So I gave them a medal but i'm not 100% sure they were right.
Please confirm?

Answer 1

well photosynthesis uses sunlight to split H2O and pass on an electron pair to plastoquinone (photosynthesis II) and to NADP+ -> NADPH (photosynthesis I). Also phosphorylation of ADP to ATP..

idk what they mean by recycling.. it would be H2O and CO2 that they "recycle" if anything.

Answer 2

Wait I found this:
The 1 out of 6 molecules of the triose phosphates not "recycled" often condense to form hexose phosphates, which ultimately yield sucrose, starch and cellulose. The sugars produced during carbon metabolism yield carbon skeletons that can be used for other metabolic reactions like the production of amino acids and lipids.

Answer 3

did they give you any choices for your question?

Answer 4

Adenosine triphosphate is what ATP is so I don’t know if that means ATP and ADP is the answer???

Answer 5

They didn't.

Answer 6

Adenosine diphosphate, abbreviated ADP, is an important organic compound in metabolism and is essential to the flow of energy in living cells and Adenosine triphosphate is a nucleoside triphosphate used in cells as a coenzyme. It is often called the "molecular unit of currency" of intracellular energy transfer. ATP transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism.

Answer 7

Oh so the other person was correct?

Answer 8

CO2 and NADPH is the answer
