#1
Front (Question)

Why do plants need both PSI and PSII?

Back (Answer)

Together they provide enough energy to reduce NADP⁺ and generate ATP.

#2
Front (Question)

Why does electron flow drive ATP synthesis?

Back (Answer)

Energy released along the ETC pumps protons → chemiosmosis.

#3
Front (Question)

What is the role of NADP⁺?

Back (Answer)

Final electron acceptor in LDR → forms NADPH for Calvin cycle.

#4
Front (Question)

Why is water necessary in the LDR?

Back (Answer)

Photolysis provides electrons to PSII and releases protons and oxygen.

#5
Front (Question)

Why does the Calvin cycle depend on light indirectly?

Back (Answer)

It requires ATP + NADPH produced only during LDR.
