Honors Biology Chapter 8 with Complete and Verified Solutions What is the significance of the electron transport chain in photosynthesis? The electron transport chain transfers electrons through a series of proteins, creating a proton gradient that drives the synthesis of ATP. What are the two main stages of photosynthesis? The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle. What is the role of NADP+ in photosynthesis? NADP+ acts as a...
