Electrons do not come back to the Electrons comeback to the same
same molecules molecule
First electron donor is water First electron donor is P700 (PS2)

Involves PS1 and PS2 Involves PS1 only

Last electron acceptor is NADP Last electron acceptor is P700
(PS1)
The net products are ATP, NADPH2 The net product is ATP only
and O2
