PSI (P700) primarily

  • A

    Synthesizes glucose from CO₂ in the stroma, using ATP and NADPH from the cytochrome b6f complex

  • B

    Re-energizes electrons that have passed through the cytochrome complex, ultimately reducing NADP⁺ to NADPH

    check_circle
  • C

    Splits water in the thylakoid lumen, releasing electrons that ultimately reduce plastoquinone to plastoquinol

  • D

    Pumps protons across the thylakoid membrane to generate the gradient that drives ATP synthase activity

Explanation

Light absorbed by PSI raises electron energy enough to reduce NADP⁺ via ferredoxin and FNR.
