  • step 1
    light hits PSI and excites electron and it is passed back to PSI via electron carriers
  • step 2
    energy produced fuels hydrogen pump
  • step 3
    energy is used to transport hydrogen from the stroma to the thylakoid - creates electrochemical gradient
  • step 4
    hydrogen ions move down concentration gradient to stroma via chemiosmosis through ATP synthase causing it to change shape enabling ADP + Pi to become ATP
