16
Q

What is step 1

A

Light strikes thylakoids and hits chlorophyll causing electron to become excited

17
Q

What is step 2

A

Electrons jump from chlorophyll to chlorophyll through thylakoids membrane (electron transport chain) NADP + picks up high energy e- and H+ to become NADPH-

18
Q

What is step 3

A

H2O is split by light (photolysis) electrons are given back to chlorophyll, H+ collects ,and O2 is released ( waste product you breathe )

19
Q

What is step 4

A

H+ bonds up inside thylakoids

20
Q

What is step 5

A

H+ pass through transport proteins ( ATP synthase ) which adds P to ADP forming ATP

21
Q

____ changed into _____

A

ADP ,NADP+, H2O
changed into
ATP, NADPH, H+O2
