The light reactions of photosynthesis use light energy to manufacture two types of energy-rich molecules: _______ and the electron carrier ________. Photons are captured by protein complexes with embedded chlorophyll molecules and other pigments.  These complexes are known as ___________.  One of them absorbs light most efficiently at 680 nm, the other absorbs best at 700 nm. The complexes are inserted in the _______ membranes of chloroplasts. Absorbed light energy is directed to "special pairs" of chlorophyll molecules, dislodging  ___________ (protons/ electrons). These particles are then passed on to a series of four protein complexes and pigments, also arranged in the membrane. The series is collectively known as a(n) ________. As the particles are passed from one member of the series to the next, some of the energy they release is used to pump________ across the membrane, generating an electrochemical gradient. The ________ (protons/ electrons) diffuse back _____________ (against/ down) their gradient, passing through the enzyme ___________.

A mitochondrial membrane complex consisting of ATP synthase, adenine nucleotide translocase (ATP-ADP translocase), and phosphate translocase functions in oxidative phosphorylation. Adenine nucleotide translocase, an antiporter located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, moves ADP into the matrix and ATP out. Phosphate translocase is also located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It transports H ions and phosphate (H2PO4–) ions into the matrix.
