True

Work Step by Step

During photosynthesis, the energy from light is used to transfer an electron from chlorophyll to a second molecule, such as a quinone or a protein complex, that has a lower affinity for electrons than chlorophyll. This creates an electron gradient that is used to power the synthesis of ATP and NADPH.
