Day 3
The excited electrons left to calm down and were picked up by a transporter that took them into an accepting molecule in the thylakoid membrane. The accepting molecule left and took the electrons into photosystem I, and the light that shines through makes the electron-accepting molecule put all of its electrons in a protein. This combined with another carrier, NADP+, which when combined with protein (and also the hydrogen released), became the energy-storage molecule NADPH2.

I think you got mixed up there Phil- the molecules can't leave the thylakoid, the electrons are just passed around. The H was released from the water- doesn't sound like the that the way you wrote it
