During the light reactions of photosynthesis, absorption of photons leads to movement of electrons through a series of carriers embedded in the thylakoid membrane.
This movement ultimately results in:
1. Fixation of carbon dioxide into sugars
2. Generation of proton gradient for ATP synthesis
3. Direct synthesis of glucose molecules
4. Release of oxygen without ATP formation

How does Photosystem II (PS II) ensure a continuous supply of electrons during the light-dependent reactions?
1. By directly accepting electrons from NADPH produced in the Calvin cycle.
2. Through the breakdown of carbon dioxide molecules in the thylakoid lumen.
3. Through the photolysis of water, which releases electrons, protons, and oxygen.
4. By transferring electrons back from Photosystem I (PS I) via cyclic electron flow.
