The absorption of a photon by special protein in the inner membranes of the chloroplast (p680) causes the hydrolysis of water into Hydrogen and Oxygen.

2 H2O + 2 NADP+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi + light → 2 NADPH + 2 H+ + 2 ATP + O2

The resultant energy is harnessed by coupling the movement of protons down a concentration gradient to the phosphorylation of ADP.

All plants.


What is the difference between the plant transport system and the animal transport system?

Plants have a transport system called xylem and phloem, which transport water and nutrients throughout the plant. Animals have a circulatory system, with blood vessels, heart, and blood that transport oxygen, nutrients, and wastes throughout the body. Plants rely on osmotic pressure and transpiration to move fluids, while animals have a pump (heart) to circulate fluids.

What is the difference between the transport system of plant to the transport system of animals?

Plants really don't have a circulatory system. Water and nutrients move through a plant by simple physics. It's not pumped anywhere like an animal's circulatory system is.


When and where does the electron transport take place?

The location of the electron transport system depends on the cell type.~The electron transport system is embedded in the inner membrane of the mitochondria for animal, plant and fungus cells.~The electron transport system is also in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts in plant cells.
