CFA Level I Fixed Income - Why do we use full price in money duration and par value in price value of a basis point?

Hi,

I'm having some trouble understanding why money duration uses full price in its calculation, while price value of a basis point uses par value in the link below. Could someone please explain the reasoning behind this?

Thanks.
