Scheme of transfer of electrons, starting from the PS-II, uphill to the acceptor, down the electron transport chain to PS-I, excitation of electrons, transfer to another acceptor and finally down hill to $NADP^{+}$ causing it to be reduced to $NADPH + H^{+}$ is called the Z scheme, due to its characteristic shape. This shape is formed when all the carriers are placed in a sequence on a redox potential scale
