Summary Introduction

To describe: The series of processes that link light absorption with ATP synthesis.

Concept introduction: Photophosphorylation is the process of photosynthesis where phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP occurs using the light energy of sunlight. In photophosphorylation, light energy generates a high-energy electron donor and a lower-energy electron accepter. Through electron transport chain, electrons are spontaneously transformed from donor to accepter. The electrochemical potential gradient energy from electron transport chain (ETC) helps to produce ATP that is a high energy molecule.
