FOr the light dependent reaction, In the textbook it says that the H+ concentration gradient across the thylakoid membrane is maintained by:
1) photolysis
2) transport of electrons from photosystem II along carriers
3) formation of NADPH.
I can understand 1) and 3), but I have no idea how transport of e- would maintain a hydrogen ion concentration gradient. Can someone help please?
THanks.
