3.
It occurs only in the mesophyll cells of the leaves.
3.
It occurs in the mesophyll and bundle-sheath cells of the leaves.
4.
It is a slower process of carbon fixation and photo-respiratory losses are high.
4.
It is a faster process of carbon fixation and photo-respiratory losses are low.
(b) Cyclic and non-cyclic photophosphorylations
Cyclic photophosphorylation
Non-cyclic photophosphorylation
1.
It occurs only in photosystem I.
1.
It occurs in photosystems I and II.
2.
It involves only the synthesis of ATP.
2.
