<span>The correct answer is: It is used to synthesize ATP through substrate-level phosphorylation.</span>  
<span>The free energy released as electrons are passed from photosystem II to photosystem I drive pumping of H+ and building a gradient. H+ flow down their gradient and when they pass through ATP synthase, the ATP is produced by substrate-level phosphorylation (ADP+Pi).</span>
