photosystem II, electron transport chain and proton translocation
photosystem II and the electron transport chain
light is absorbed by the LHC and transfered to the reaction center
Chla in the reaction center absorbed the light energy and electrons are elevated to a higher energy state
energized electrons from Chla are transfered to an acceptor resulting in an oxidized Chla
the electron from the acceptor is transfered to the electron transport chain
water is split in the intrathylakoid space
the electron produced by splitting water is used to reduce the oxidized Chla
