(1) NADP+ is the final electron acceptor of the light-dependent reactions. NADP+ is reduced to NADPH by ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase using electrons derived from the photon-induced splitting of H2O at photosystem II.

(2) In the light-independent or 'dark' reactions the NADPH that is formed is used to further reduce 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P). Most of the G3P formed is used to regenerate ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, while a small amount is used for biosynthesis of energy-rich molecules such as sugars, fats and amino acids. The net effect is that the original electrons (reducing power), derived from the initial splitting of water, are stored in the C-H bonds of these molecules.

Does the hydrogen serve as the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain?

Oxygen is the final electron acceptor of the electron transfer chain. Hydrogen ( protons ) come down their concentration gradient and through the ATP sythase making ATP. Then they, with the electrons oxygen accepts, become H2O.
