The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "NADP^(+) is reduced to NADPH in," we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Context**: - NADP^(+) (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is an important coenzyme in photosynthesis. It acts as an electron carrier. 2. **Identifying the Process**: - The reduction of NADP^(+) to NADPH occurs during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. 3. **Differentiating the Photosystems**: - There are two main photosystems involved in the light-dependent reactions: Photosystem I (PS1) and Photosystem II (PS2). - PS2 absorbs light and initiates the process of photolysis of water, releasing oxygen and providing electrons to the electron transport chain. - PS1 absorbs light and is responsible for the reduction of NADP^(+). 4. **Understanding Non-Cyclic Photophosphorylation**: - Non-cyclic photophosphorylation involves both PS1 and PS2. - In this process, electrons flow from PS2 to PS1 through an electron transport chain, and NADP^(+) is reduced to NADPH at PS1. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that NADP^(+) is reduced to NADPH in **non-cyclic photophosphorylation**. ### Final Answer: - The correct option is **D: non-cyclic photophosphorylation**. ---
