an electron and two hydrogen ions

Answer 1

The correct response is:

two electrons and a hydrogen ion.

In the process of Photosystem I, NADP+ is reduced to NADPH, which requires two electrons and one hydrogen ion (H⁺) to complete the reduction process. The overall reaction can be summarized as:

\[ \text{NADP}^+ + 2e^- + H^+ \rightarrow \text{NADPH} \]

This indicates that two electrons and one hydrogen ion are involved in the formation of NADPH from NADP+.
