Document Summary

Therefore to move 4 electrons down etc requires 8 photons (4 by each photosystem) Steps of light reactions: absorption of light by photosystem ii results in oxidation of p680. Released electrons reduces the primary electron acceptor molecule. P680+ is returned to: absorption of light energy by photosystem i results in oxidation of p700. The liberated electron is used to reduce the primary acceptor before being passed down to ferredoxin. The single electron is then held by nadp+ reductase complex. P700+ is reduced back to p700 by electron that comes from plantacyanin. Once a second electron travels along the chain & reaches nadp: proton movement by reduction-oxidation of plastoquinone creates a concentration gradient of h+ (proton-motive force) across thylakoid membrane. The gradient is dissipated as h+ diffuses back into the stroma through the atp synthase complex, which drives the synthesis of atp from adp & pi.
