The NADPH oxidase complex of neutrophils and macrophages is an important weapon used by these cells to kill microbial pathogens.

NADPH is the reduced form of NADP+, and NADP+ is the oxidized form of NADPH. [edit] In plants ...

NADPH oxidize (in both type of phagocytes) myeloperoxidase (in neutrophils only) ROS Activity Strong oxidants like the various ROS can damage other molecules and the cell structures of which they are a part.

The NADPH is the main reducing agent in cells, providing a source of energetic electrons to other reactions. This leaves chlorophyll with a deficit of electrons, which must be obtained NADP+ and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) The electron donor for reductive biosynthesis; differs from NAD+ and NADH in that a phosphate is attached to the adenine ribose at position 3.

NADP+ + 2H NADPH + H+ NADP+ is similar to NAD+ in that it can carry two electrons. One of the electrons is contained within a hydrogen atom, the other is removed from a hydrogen atom and the remaining proton is released..

The role of NADPH in oxygen-producing photosynthesis is to ____. a) supply hydrogen to thecarbohydrate; b) supply carbon to the carbohydrate; c) supply energy that can be used to form acarbohydrate; d) transfer oxygens from the third phosphate ...

The energy of the sun is captured by pigments found in photosynthetic organisms and the energy is captured in such a way as to produce ATP and reducing power in the form of electrons which are carried by the coenzyme, NADPH (formed from the vitamin ...

dark reaction - in photosynthesis, the ATP and NADPH are used to drive a series of A carbon-fixation@ reactions in which CO2 from the air is used to form sugar molecules.

The carbon -fixing reactions of the second stage of photosynthesis; energy stored in ATP and NADPH by the light-dependent reactions is used to reduce carbon from carbon dioxide to simple sugars; light is not required for these reactions.

transport 1) A series of coupled oxidation/reduction reactions where electrons are passed like hot potatoes from one membranebound protein/enzyme to another before being finally attached to a terminal electron acceptor (usually oxygen or NADPH).

light reaction that part of the photosynthetic process that, in the presence of light, captures energy to form ATP and NADPH2 to be used to synthesize complex organic molecules in the dark reaction lignification Impregnated with lignin.

ATP is Adenosine TriPhosphate, one adenosine, and three phosphate. the third phosphate can be broken off to give the cell energy, forming one ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and one phosphate. energy can be stored by combining the ADP and phosphate. all of this takes place in the mitochondrion of a cell

ATP is adenosine triphosphate. It is a nitrogenous base called adenine with three phophate (PO3-) groups attached to it. It is basically the source of energy in the cell. This energy is stored in the bonds between the phosphate groups, with most of the energy in the bond between the second and third phosphate groups. ATP is made in the mitochondria of cells
