PHOTOSYSTEM II (STEP-BY-STEP)(FIRST STEP)

1 The light energy will be converted to a Higher State Energy in the Chlorophyll. 2 Electrons that are outside the Thylakoids are in lower state energy but once the electrons enter the Photosystem II, they will be energized to become Higher State Energy. 3 After, the electrons will be transferred to the Electron Tansport Chain (ETC). In the process, the electrons will lose energy and then converted back to Lower State Energy. 4 This loss will trigger the process of Photolysis. Some energy will create a concentration gradient and release hydrogen ions. 5 Hydrogen Ions will be used to pump the ATP Synthase to convert ADP to ATP
