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.

What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the main job of the plant transport system?
take water and minerals from roots to the leaves and take food substances from leaf to rest of the plant. and if its a non-photosynthetic plant then food from its environment/special organ to rest of the plant.
What is the main function of xylem tissue in the plant transport system?
The main function of xylem within a plant is to transport water and minerals from the roots up to the actual plant itself.
What are the organ's in a plant water transport system?
the chroloplasts and the cyptoplasmns and the scrutium
What transports water and nurtients through an plant?
The vascular system of a plant, which consists of xylem and phloem tissues, transports water and nutrients throughout the plant. Xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the leaves, while phloem transports sugars and other nutrients produced in the leaves to other parts of the plant.
How is the transport system of a plant differ to a frog?
The frog differ to a plant by the automotive transport system rather than is the public locomotive transport system.
Which plant has a water transport system?
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 does a transport system do in a plant cell?
transports food and water supplies to the plant and cell.
In what parts of a flowering plant can you find the transport system?
the stems
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.

What does the plant water transport system do?
Takes water from roots to the leaves>.

Which explains how stems transport to other plants of the plant?
they get it through a system of tubes
