- This procedure starts with an oxygen molecule and two hydrogen molecules. The bonding between them is called covalent bond.
- When an element loses an electron it's called oxidization
- When an element gains an electron it's called reduction
- PSI and PSII need to be activated, therefore they need the sunlight to get oxidized
- The NADP becomes oxidized and it needs 1 hydrogen molecule to become NADPH
- Photolysis is when an electron comes from a hydrogen molecule
- The adenine in this process binds with two phosphorus molecules and becomes ADP which is adenine phosphate
- The job of the ADP is too spin so the hydrogen molecules can leave the leaf and filter out since they create an acetic environment which is not suitable for the leaf
- When the hydrogen goes through, it slows down the spinning of ADP
- There is also a third phosphate in this process which comes in and joins the diphosphate to become a source of energy in the form of ATP
