1.  Water is split, providing electrons to replace those lost by PSII
2.  Electrons are boosted to a higher state and accepted by a membrane protein
3.  Electrons are passed down the electron transport chain, creating a proton gradient that fuels the production of ATP
4.  Electrons leave photosystem I and are accepted by another protein
5.  Electrons passed down another ETC, which leads to the production of NADPH  (energy carrier)
