Chapter 22, Problem 22RE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The path of electron transfer in photosynthesis process via photosystemIand photosystemIIis to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Oxidation is the addition of an electronegative element or the removal of an electropositive element in a chemical reaction.

Reduction is the addition of an electropositive element or the removal of an electronegative element in a chemical reaction.

The chemical reaction in which oxidation process and reduction process takes place and reduction take place simultaneously is called a redox reaction.

The chemical reaction that takes place during photosynthesis is shown as follows:

6CO2+6H2OC6H12O6 +6O2

During the light reaction, the reduction of NADP+toNADPH, accompanied by the oxidation of water results in the formation of oxygen during photosynthesis.
