Photosynthesis
  1. The Light Dependent Reaction
    1. 1. PHOTOLYSIS
      1. Water enters the thylakoid space from the water transport systems. The energy from the light breaks the covalent bonding within water and splits it into 2H atoms and 1O atom.
        1. Light energy further splits the H atoms into 2H+ ions and 2e-.
          1. The protons create a proton gradient across the membrane so the H+ can flow by chemiosmosis and drive ATP synthase.
