Single Choice

$$NADPH_{2}$$ is also called as

AReal power
BOxidising agent
CPower house of energy
DReducing power
Correct Answer

Solution

The $$NADPH_2$$ is synthesized in non-cyclic photophosphorylation in the light phase of photosynthesis. This is used subsequently in the dark phase to reduce carbon dioxide into sugars. $$NADPH_2$$ is also called as reducing power. The substance provides the hydrogen molecules to perform reduction of the other substance.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
