Summary Introduction

To review:

The formation of NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) in linear electron flow.

Introduction:

The process of photosynthesis includes two kinds of photosystems (I and II) that are involved in the formation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH in the light-dependent reaction. During photosynthesis, the light energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
What is the ultimate electron acceptor in photosynthesis? The ultimate electron donor? What powers the electron flow between the donor and the acceptor?
Why is cyclic electron flow important during photosynthesis even though linear electron flow also produces ATP?
What is the significance of the proton gradient that is established across the thylakoid membrane during electron transport in the thylakoid?
