DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The ‘light-dependent reactions’ harvest light energy and use that energy to transport electrons through an electron transport chain embedded in the thylakoid membrane. Chlorophyll is the primary photosynthetic pigment; hence, thylakoid membranes are deep green in color.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both create a H+ concentration gradient. Both possess ATP synthase which uses the potential energy from the H+ concentration gradient to create ATP. Both reduce electron carriers. Both have the goal of creating energy storing molecules such as ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -In photosynthesis, there are two electron transport chains. In this electron transport chain, the electrons are obtained from the photolysis of water and the electron transport chain proceeds from the reaction center of photosystem II to photosystem I.

Detailed explanation-4: -Generating an Energy Carrier: ATP The passive diffusion of hydrogen ions from high concentration (in the thylakoid lumen) to low concentration (in the stroma) is harnessed to create ATP, just as in the electron transport chain of cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -Both of the processes use a proton gradient for the synthesis of ATP. Both utilize the ATP synthase enzyme and produce ATP. Both have an electron transport system.
