Detailed explanation-1: -Oxygen and hydrogen ions are also formed from the splitting of water. To replace the electron in the reaction center, a molecule of water is split. This splitting releases an electron and results in the formation of oxygen (O2) and hydrogen ions (H+) in the thylakoid space.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrogen ions in the matrix space can only pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane through a membrane protein called ATP synthase. As protons move through ATP synthase, ADP is turned into ATP. The production of ATP using the process of chemiosmosis in mitochondria is called oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrogen Ion Movement and. ATP Formation. thylakoid membrane. As the ions pass through, ATP synthase rotates. The rotation creates the energy needed to bind ADP and a phosphate group together to produce ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -In non-cyclic photophosphorylation the photolysis of water produces electrons that generate a proton motive force which is used to produce ATP, the electrons finally being used to reduce NADP+ to NADPH.
