Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis involves two processes. The first is the light dependant stage, this is where the plant requires light waves to allow the production of reduced NADP and also ATP. These products are made when the water molecules splits up during photolysis. the oxygen is produced as a waste product and may be used in respiration but the electron is sent into the electron transport chain. The electron is accepted by photosystem 2 which excites the electron due to the light energy and passes it along the chain to photosystem 1. At this point the electron is excited again and passed along another electron transport chain where it is recieved by the final electron acceptor which is the NADP. The NADP is reduced and gains the electrons.
