Leaf Pigmentation: Chemiosmosis Notes

Chemiosmosis- Hydrogen ions moving from high to low concentration through a membrane.
 
1) PSII removes electron bond from H2O (photolysis) after being stimulated by sunlight, breaking up O and H2.
2) Losing electrons means being oxidized, gaining is being reduced.
3) PQ  takes the electrons from PSII, then b6f is reduced and allows Hydrogen to move out to the thylakoid lumen.
4) PC reduces from b6f, then PSI is activated by sunlight and is reduced as well.
5) Electron then pass through Fd , FNR then NADP.
6) The bond between the two hydrogen atoms separate and one bonds to NADP to form NADPH.
7) A takes 2 phosphates to form ADP, and spins with ATP synthase.
8) Hydrogen moves through and slows the ATP synthase and ADP down, breaking off ADP and allows 1 phosphate to attach to ADP, forming ATP.
9) ATP synthase help move Hydogen ions.
10) PSII consists of proteins.

Note: Highlighted phrases refer to the movement of Hydrogen ions.
