1. Primary photo event 2. .charge seperation 3. electron transport 4. chemiosmosis

1. A photon of light is captured by a pigment. The primary photoevent excites the electron with the pigment 2. charge separation- this exception energy is transferred to the reaction center, which transfers an energetic electron to an acceptor molecule, initiating electron transport 3. electron transport- the excited electrons are shuttled along a series of electron carrier molecules embedded within in photosynthetic proton gradient. the electrons are used to reduce the final acceptor, NADPH 4. Chemiosmosis- the proton gradient is a form of potential energy that can be used by and ATP synthase enzyme that catalyzes the reaction of ADP and Pi to form ATP. This enzyme is evolutionarily related to the mitochondrial enzyme with the same function
