Light Dependent Shtage
Photosynthesis 2 (stage 1) is a series of 7 steps:
1.) Chlorophyll absorb energy from the sunlight
2.) Water molecules are broken down
3.) Hydrogen ions are transported across the thylacoid
4.) Energy is absorbed from sun
5.) NADPH is produced when electrons are added to NADPH
6.) Hydrogen ions diffuse through a protien channel
7.) ADP is charged into ATP when Hydrogen ions flow through ATP synthase
Photosynthesis II is light dependant, meaning that is cannot work when it is away from sunlight
Photosystem II is actually the 1st stage, it is just it was discovered second
It is located in the thylakoid membrane of plants. The enzyme captures photons of light to energize electrons.
