In this video, Mr. W teaches the light reactions of photosynthesis, focusing on how the non-cyclic electron flow pathway creates ATP and NADPH. The video covers

The two phases of photosynthesis
The basic physics of light (wavelength, photons, etc.)
Chlorophyll structure
How photosystems convert light energy into electrical energy
Chemiosmosis and ATP production in photosystem II.
NADPH production in photosystem 1
The Z-scheme

In the AP Bio curriculum, this video covers material in topic 3.5 (photosynthesis)
