ETC - 10 facts


  • PS II & PS I need sunlight to get excited
  • Breaking apart of water molecules is called photalysis
  • PS II passes the electrons to plastoquinone (PQ) to transport the electrons to the cytochrome
  • B6F passes the electrons from the PQ and send it off to Plastocyanin to distribute it to PS I
  • PS II and PS I are photo systems which means they need sun to activate
  • PS I was discovered before PS II 
  • PS I passes its electron to ferredoxin and ferredoxin become reduced
  • NADP becomes negative after an electron passes through it, the positiv Hydrogen molecules bond with it making NADPH
  • ADP synthase bonds with Adenine and two phosphate molecules to form the adenine diphosphate (ADP); these begin spinning quickly allowing the excess hydrogen to exit the leaf. This movement of the hydrogen atoms causes the spinning to slow down.
  • The third phosphate bonds with the ADP to form ATP
