Q

plastocyanin (PC) is an

A

electron acceptor

17
Q

electrons pass from plastocyanin (PC) to –>

A

p700 in ps1

18
Q

electrons pass from ps1 to –>

A

Ferrodoxin (FD)

19
Q

electrons pass from Ferrodoxin (FD) to –>

A

NADP+ reductase

20
Q

NADP+ reductase makes

A

NADPH

21
Q

how does cytochrome complex 66f create a proton gradient?

A

energy lost between p680 & p700 is used to move H+ protons from the stroma to the innermembrane space

22
Q

the movement of electrons in photosynthesis is

A

noncyclic

23
Q

NADPH then goes to

A

the Calvin cycle

24
Q

H+ protons form the inner membrane go to –>

A

to ATP Synthase & back out (to go through cytochrome complex again)

25
Q

water donates

& byproduct

A

electrons & 2 protons

byproduct = oxygen

26
Q

For every H2O split =

A

1 NADP+ made
