1. Light energy excites electrons in the photosystems of the chloroplasts. These photosystems are located on the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts.

2. Water molecules are oxidized at photosystem 2, inside the lumen, located on the interior side the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts.

3. NADPH is formed at the NADP+ reductase at the stroma, located on the exterior side of the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts.
