Simple Z Scheme Diagram. The vertical axis in the figure represents the reduction potential of a particular species the higher the position of a molecular species the more negative its reduction potential and the more easily it donates electrons. The electron transport pathway from water h2o to nadp the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidized form.

The z scheme is an energy diagram for electron transfer in the light reactions of plant photosynthesis. The vertical energy scale shows each molecule s ability to transfer an electron to i e to reduce the next one from left to right. This reaction pathway is called the z scheme of photosynthesis because the redox diagram from p 680 to p 700 looks like a big z figure 3 4.
