How solar energy is used by cyanobacteria to form ATP and NADPH . When light ar-
2
rives, electrons depart from photosystem I and photosystem II. Both photosystems
remain without electrons. The electrons departing photosystem I are used for the re-
duction of NADP and NADPH . At this point, the electrons departing photosystem II
2
reach photosystem I by means of the electron transport system. The force that devel-
ops in the electron transport system permits the synthesis of ATP from ATP (adeno-
sine triphosphatase). Photosystem II, left with no electrons, obtains these from water
(H O) molecules. This oxidation in water permits release of oxygen O2 gas.

Photosynthesis is a most complex phenomenon, one which appears
impossible to emerge in the organelle inside a cell. That is because
it is impossible for all the stages to form at once, and meaningless
THE MICROWORLD MIRACLE evolutionists maintain. Its irreducibly complex structure requires
26
for them to do so one by one.
In conclusion, this system could not come about by stages as

all its components to be present and fully functioning at once. This,
in turn, shows that the mechanism was flawlessly created at a sin-
gle moment with all its separate parts.
