Flash Clip #4. Photophospholoylation

In the previous Flash Clip (#3), the electrons were passed from molecule to molecule until they reached the Reaction Center I.  

During this movement, the electrons lose energy which is used to produce ATP. 

Photophosphorylation is this process of ATP production resulting from photons striking the Photosystems.
