In the "photo" reaction of photosynthesis, where does the energy to build ATP come from?
a) In the first electron transport chain, hydrogen ions are pumped into the thylakoid by high-energy electrons; the kinetic energy from the release of these ions builds ATP b) In the NADPH-producing photosystem, the electrons from the electron transport chain produce energy upon being transferred c) In the water-splitting photosystem, the electrons release energy upon being transferred to the electron transport chain
