Question

As electrons flow from one photosystem to another, the amount of energy present in the electrons decreases. how does the plant cell use the energy lost by the electrons?

Answer 1

The electrons are used to generate ATP and its equivalent forms.

Answer 2

The plant cell use the energy to maintain and establish a proton gradient.

The electrons flow through the elecron transport chain in the inner mitochondrial membrane producing a build-up of proton in the inner membrane space. This proton gradient is the direct source of energy for generating ATP.
