Question
Chloroplasts contain two photosystems. What is the function of each? For linear electron flow, diagram the flow of electrons from photon absorption to NADPH formation. What does the energy stored in the form of NADPH synthesize?
Step 1
Both photosystems absorb light energy and use it to move electrons via an electron transport chain. Show more…

Describe how photosystems II and I work together to synthesize NADPH. Why are 2 photosystems required to make NADPH? How is a proton gradient generated across the thylakoid membrane? (when protons are pumped/accumulate in the lumen of the chloroplasts why are they trapped there?)
Relate the general components of a photosystem to their respective functions. Distinguish between the functions of Photosystems I and II of the light reactions, and describe how they are related by tracing the path followed by electrons from water to NADP+ through the electron transport chain, and identifying the location of ATP synthesis (photophosphorylation). Identify the reactants, products, and the enzyme responsible for carbon fixation in the Calvin cycle.
