The Journey within Photosynthesis (10 Key Points)


  • It all begins with two hydrogen molecules covalent bonding with a oxygen molecule
  • When an electron is lost in an element, it is called oxidization 
  • When an electron is gained in an element, it is called reduction 
  • In order for PSII and PSI to gain electrons, it needs sunlight to get excited and oxidized
  •  The action of getting the electron from water molecule is called photolysis
  • As NADP becomes oxidized, it takes 1 hydrogen molecule and becomes NADPH, the other H+ is released into the environment
  • Adenine bonds with two phosphate molecules to form the adenine diphosphate (ADP)
  • ADP synapse and ADP spins fast for the hydrogen to pass through the filter to exit the leaf
  • The transformation of hydrogen slows down the spinning
  • A 3rd phosphorus molecule comes in and takes the diphosphate, forming (ATP)
