Electron Transport Flashcards
0
Q
step 2
A
activated electrons are passed from one molecule to another molecule along the membrane
1
Q
step 1
A
light excites electrons and causes water molecule to split releasing an electron into the electron transport system
2
Q
step 3
A
electrons get transferred to a protein called ferredoxin
3
Q
step 4
A
Ferredoxin transfers electrons to the electron carrier NADP forming the energy storing molecule NADPH
4
Q
Chemiosmosis (happens during phase 4)
A
the mechanism by which ATP is produced as a result of the flow of electrons down a concentration gradient. (breaks down water molecule and the hydrogen ion starts to accumulate on the membrane & ATP get sent to the stroma.
