describe non
cyclic photo photophosphorylation
Answers
Answer:
The photophosphorylation process which results in the movement of the electrons in a non-cyclic manner for synthesizing ATP molecules using the energy from excited electrons provided by photosystem II is called non-cyclic photophosphorylation.
This process is referred to as non- cyclic photophosphorylation because the lost electrons by P680 of Photosystem II are occupied by P700 of Photosystem I and are not reverted to P680. Here the complete movement of the electrons is in a unidirectional or in a non- cyclic manner.
During non-cyclic photophosphorylation, the electrons released by P700 are carried by primary acceptor and are finally passed on to NADP. Here, the electrons combine with the protons which is produced by splitting up of the water molecule and reduces NADP to NADPH2.
