The Light-Dependent Reactions, Full Sequence

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The light-dependent reactions run photosystem II, the chloroplast electron transport chain, and photosystem I in sequence, converting light energy into the stored chemical energy of ATP and NADPH.

Watch for

Photosystem I re-energizes an electron that photosystem II already used once — the two photosystems work in series, not as two independent light-capturing events.
