Cyclic Photophosphorylation:
The photophosphorylation process which results in the movement of the electrons in a cyclic manner for synthesizing ATP molecules is called cyclic photophosphorylation.
In this process, plant cells just accomplish the ADP to ATP for immediate energy for the cells. This process usually takes place in the thylakoid membrane and uses Photosystem I and the chlorophyll P700.
During cyclic photophosphorylation, the electrons are transferred back to P700 instead of moving into the NADP from the electron acceptor. This downward movement of electrons from an acceptor to P700 results in the formation of ATP molecules.
