Question

Difference between cyclic and non cyclic photophosphorylation

Answer 1

Explanation:

As the name suggests, in cyclic photophosphorylation the electrons move in a circular pattern. Electron movement is non-cyclic in noncyclic photophosphorylation. *Photophosphorylation: The addition of phosphate group in the presence of light during the light reaction of photosynthesis is called photophosphorylation.

Answer 2

Differentiate Between Cyclic and Noncyclic Photophosphorylation. ... In the cyclic photophosphorylation, only ATP is produced, whereas, in the non-cyclic photophosphorylation both NADPH and ATP are produced. In cyclic photophosphorylation, the electrons get expelled by photosystem I and they return to the system.
