In PSII, electrons are generated from splitting water. The electron moves down the electron transport chain along with protons from water, harnessing energy for the chemiosmotic synthesis of ATP. In photosystem I, an excited electron from the Chl* reduces an acceptor. The oxidized chlorophyll now adopts an electron, effectively linking both photosystems chemically.
