The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "NADP reduces to NADPH2 in," we need to analyze the given options and understand the context of photosynthesis, particularly focusing on where NADP is reduced to NADPH2. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Photosynthesis**: Photosynthesis occurs in two main stages: the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle). The light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and involve the absorption of sunlight. 2. **Role of NADP**: During the light-dependent reactions, sunlight energy is used to split water molecules (photolysis), releasing oxygen and generating high-energy electrons. These electrons are transferred through an electron transport chain. 3. **Reduction of NADP**: At the end of the electron transport chain, the electrons are used to reduce NADP+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) to NADPH2. This reduction is crucial as NADPH2 serves as a reducing agent in the Calvin cycle. 4. **Identifying the Correct Pathway**: The options provided are: - Hatch and Slack - Robert Hill - Hans Krebs - Melvin Calvin 5. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Hatch and Slack**: This pathway is related to C4 photosynthesis and involves carbon fixation, not the reduction of NADP. - **Robert Hill**: He is known for the Hill reaction, which describes the light-driven transfer of electrons from water to NADP+, resulting in the formation of NADPH2. This is directly related to the reduction of NADP. - **Hans Krebs**: He discovered the Krebs cycle, which is not directly involved in photosynthesis. - **Melvin Calvin**: He is known for the Calvin cycle, which is the light-independent phase of photosynthesis and does not involve the reduction of NADP. 6. **Conclusion**: The correct answer to the question is **Robert Hill**, as he demonstrated the process where NADP is reduced to NADPH2 during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. ### Final Answer: NADP reduces to NADPH2 in **Robert Hill**.
