Question

Difference between photophosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation

Answer 1

Explanation:

Then the differences:

when it occurs:

oxphos occurs during cellular respiration

↔

photophosphorylation occurs during photosynthesis

where it occurs: oxphos occurs inside mitochondria

↔

photophosphorylation occurs inside thylakoids (in chloroplasts)

energy source: the energy source for oxphos is glucose

↔

the energy source for photophosphorylation sunlight.

electron acceptor: in oxphos the final electron acceptor is molecular oxygen

↔

in photophosphorylation the final electron acceptor is NADP+
