Z SCHEME OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
A schematic representation of the easy reactions of photosynthesis, in which the photosynthetic reaction centres and electron carriers are arranged according to their electrode potential (free energy) in one dimension and their reactionsequence in the second dimension.
This gives a Z shape, the tworeaction centres (of photosystems I and II) beinglinked by the photosynthetic electrontransport chain.
