Electron Transport Photosynthesis

Hey Guys.
I came across references to the Electron Transport chain in Photosynthesis in Past assessor reports. Can someone please explain how this works?
My teacher told us we don't need to know about it, but I'm worried it will be mentioned again.

Thanks :)

well pretty much, the electron carriers NADH and FADH2 carry over hydrogen to the cristae of the mitochondria and the electrons from them help to pump hydrogen ions out, which then diffuse back in through an enzyme ATP-synthase, which is what makes the 32 ATP

hope that helped :)

i don't think you have to explain the involvement of the electron trnasport chain in much depth in the light dependent stage. I suppose you could say that the light excites the electrons within the grana, thus giving them energy to move along the cytochromes to produce ATP.
