Light Dependent Reactions in Photosynthesis

Question 7 • 41111de1 ECAD Fall 2026 - Q2 - NM-Biology - S1

Which substance is responsible for allowing the transfer of electrons to create NADPH in photosystem I?

Answer
A
water
B
ferredoxin
C
chlorophyll
D
oxygen

Explanation

In photosystem I, energized electrons are passed to ferredoxin, which carries them to the enzyme that reduces NADP+ to NADPH. Water supplies replacement electrons earlier in the light reactions, but ferredoxin enables their transfer toward NADPH production. Therefore, the correct choice is ferredoxin.
