In the thylakoid of chloroplasts, photons of light are received into photosystem II where 2e- (from hydrolysis of H2O) are promoted to a higher energy level where they are received by electron acceptor A.

After this they are past down through electron carriers, and these 2e- loose energy as they are past down. Here they phosphorylate ADP+Pi into ATP. The flow of 2e- being past down through electron carriers creates a flow and pumps H+ ions from the stroma into the thylakoid.

Once the 2e- have been past down the electron carriers they are received by photosystem I which uses even more light energy to promote the 2e- to an even higher energy level. They are accepted by electron acceptor B.

This flow allows the 2H+ from the photolysis of H2O to flow out of the inner thylakoid space into the stroma through ATP synthase (turning the turbine and phosphorylating ADP+Pi into ATP) due to a H+ concentration gradient.

The H+ combine with NADP+ to create NADPH+H+ in the stroma.
